Adrian Kempe recorded one goal and one assist in the Kings' 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks on Saturday, October 3. He added six shots on goal, a power-play goal, two hits and logged 22:00 of ice time while finishing even in the defeat.

The two-point outing lines up cleanly with his recent averages of 0.91 points per game and 2.9 shots per night. With underlying play that grades 79 out of 100 among forwards in shots, scoring chances and ice time, Kempe's production sits on a sustainable foundation. He remains a steady source of goals (0.41 per game) and assists (0.49 per game) with regular power-play time on the first unit.

Kempe's six shots and 22:00 of ice time against San Jose underline his role as a high-volume shooter with top-six minutes. His 2.9 shots per game and 19:23 a night in recent work give him multiple paths to fantasy points, and the power-play goal (his unit ranks fourth on the Kings in power-play ice time at 2:58 per game) adds another layer. The 79 process grade reflects strong shot generation and scoring-chance creation, suggesting his 0.91 points per game will hold up over time.

With one game remaining this week (Tuesday) and two games next week, Kempe offers reliable lineup flexibility. His 0.41 goals per game and 0.18 power-play points per game make him a threat in multiple categories, while 1.4 hits per game provide peripheral value. The even rating in a high-scoring game shows he contributed at both ends, and he logged 22:00 on Saturday.

What to do

• Keep Kempe in your lineup for Tuesday's game, as his shot volume and power-play role give him consistent upside.

• His 79 process grade and 2.9 shots per game make him a solid hold in all league formats.

• Bank on Kempe for around a point per game and nearly three shots every time he plays.
