Adrian Kempe scored three goals and added one assist in 17:23 of ice time as the Kings routed the Sharks 7-2 on Wednesday, November 4. He finished plus-2 with four shots and one power-play goal in the blowout.

The four-point night was a big line, but Kempe's recent averages already showed 0.91 points per game, so his fantasy value was priced in before this game. His underlying play grades 79 out of 100 among forwards, a read on how sustainable his scoring is.

Adrian Kempe

Kempe's hat trick and assist came from a player already averaging 0.41 goals and 0.49 assists per game in his recent sample of 215 games. He logs 19:23 a night with 2:58 on the power play, where he skates on the first unit and ranks fourth among all Kings skaters in power-play time. His process score of 79 reflects strong shot generation, scoring chances and ice time, all of which support his production.

The Kings have two games left this week, on Saturday and Tuesday. Kempe remains a hold in all formats, a player whose value was already reflected in his averages before Wednesday's explosion. Managers rostering him should keep him in lineups for those two games, but this performance does not change his standing or create streaming appeal where he was not already rostered.

What to do

• Keep Adrian Kempe active in lineups for the Kings' two remaining games this week.

• Do not expect Kempe to repeat a four-point night, but his 0.91 points per game in recent work supports steady production.

• His process score of 79 and first-unit power-play role give managers confidence in his underlying play.
