Adrian Kempe

It shouldn't be much of a surprise that with Kopitar playing well that Adrian Kempe would also as the two work well alongside each other. In the last five games, Kempe has six total points with three goals and three assists.

He currently is leading the team in goals with 12 on the season due in large part to having a career-high shooting percentage of 16.4%. If he continues this pace, he could get close to 40 goals on the season and would be close to his career high of 41 from the 2022-23 season.

Alex Laferriere

In the first month of the season, Alex Laferriere was one of the best players on the Los Angeles Kings. He would have six goals and three assists in the first 12 games but hit a bit of a lull through most of November.

However, during the Kings three-game win streak Laferriere once again has been one of the team's more productive forwards. During those three games, he has had two goals and three assists with a +/- of 6.

After the Sharks game, Jim Hiller shuffled the lines and the group of Kevin Fiala-Phillip Danault-Alex Laferriere has really worked well together. Laferriere has really benefited from it and is now only one goal behind matching his total from last season.
