Dunn grabs assist in return to ice
Vince Dunn picked up an assist, fired two shots on goal and blocked three shots in Monday’s 4-2 win over the Sharks. Dunn helped out on Jared McCann’s empty-netter in the third period. This was Dunn’s first game since March 4 — he missed 12 contests due to an upper-body injury. The 27-year-old defenseman should see top-pairing minutes and plenty of power-play time to close out the campaign. He has 46 points, 120 shots on net, 63 blocked shots, 58 PIM and a plus-9 rating over 58 appearances this season.
Doughty supplies helper on Monday
Drew Doughty logged an assist and five hits in Monday’s 4-3 loss to the Jets. Doughty has been limited to four assists over his last nine outings. The 34-year-old defenseman has generally, however, been as steady as ever on the Kings’ top pairing this year, racking up 46 points (18 on the power play) through 74 contests. He’s added 121 shots on net, 100 hits, 132 blocked shots, 42 PIM and a plus-15 rating to offer a balanced stat line for fantasy managers.
