Kempe's two-goal night came on six shots in 18:18, both typical totals for a winger averaging 2.9 shots and 19:23 a night. He contributes 0.91 points per game in his recent sample of 215 games, splitting his scoring nearly evenly between goals (0.41) and assists (0.49). He adds 0.18 power-play points per game and ranks fourth among all Kings skaters in power-play ice time at 2:58 a night on the first unit.

The Kings have four games left this week, on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Monday. Kempe's underlying process score of 79 suggests his production should hold steady, making him a reliable option in formats that reward shots and consistent minutes. His two-goal effort reflects the kind of output managers can expect on a good night, rather than a spike above his baseline.

What to do

• Keep Kempe active in all formats through the Kings' four-game week.

• His shot volume and first-unit power-play time make him a steady contributor across categories.

• Expect nights like Tuesday to happen occasionally, but view his 0.91 points per game as the reliable mark.
