Kings' Jordan Spence: Grabs helper in win
Rotowire
Spence posted an assist and two blocked shots in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Blues.
Spence has racked up four assists over his last five games despite his limited role on the third pairing. The 22-year-old defenseman has at least steadily been in the lineup despite frequent paper moves to AHL Ontario. He's up to seven assists, 13 shots on net, 11 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating through 15 contests this season. Spence has enough offense in his game, especially with a spot on the second power-play unit, that he could be helpful in deeper fantasy formats.

Kings' Jordan Spence: Grabs helper Thursday
Rotowire
Spence notched an assist and three shots on goal in Thursday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Penguins.
Spence helped out on Kevin Fiala's third-period equalizer, which forced the overtime session. This was Spence's third assist over the last two games. The 22-year-old blueliner is up to six helpers, 10 shots on net, nine hits, nine blocked shots and a plus-6 rating through 12 contests. He should continue to see time on the third pairing -- Andreas Englund is more at risk of losing his place in the lineup to Tobias Bjornfot if head coach Todd McLellan voluntarily changes up his defense.

Kings' Jordan Spence: Called up from AHL
Rotowire
Spence was recalled from the minors Thursday.
Considering Spence has played in five of the Kings' six games this season, his promotion from AHL Ontario shouldn't come as a surprise. In those outings, the 22-year-old blueliner garnered one assist, four hits and three shots while averaging 14:16 of ice time. With Los Angeles hard up against the cap, fantasy players should expect Spence to continue moving between leagues frequently as a cap-saving measure.

Kings' Jordan Spence: Notches helper
Rotowire
Spence logged an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Coyotes.
The helper was Spence's first point in five outings this season. The 22-year-old defenseman is seeing steady playing time over Tobias Bjornfot on the third pairing, but Spence isn't getting a ton of ice time. He's been solid in the non-scoring areas with seven blocked shots, four hits, three shots on net and a plus-1 rating, and his limited role suggests fantasy managers shouldn't expect a lot of offense.

Kings' Jordan Spence: Set for promotion
Rotowire
Spence is expected to be called up from the minors Wednesday, Russell Morgan of Hockey Royalty reports.
Spence has played in just five games for the Kings this season in which he garnered one assist, six shots and three hits while averaging 14:19 of ice time. The promotion of Spence doesn't bode well for the availability of either Mikey Anderson (undisclosed) or Alexander Edler (upper body) versus the Golden Knights on Thursday.

Kings' Jordan Spence: Nabs first assist of season
Rotowire
Spence logged an assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.
Spence set up the first of Phillip Danault's two goals in the third period. The helper was Spence's first point through four games at the NHL level this season. The 22-year-old will likely be in competition for a depth role for as long as Sean Durzi (undisclosed) is out. Spence is unlikely to put up enough offense to be helpful in fantasy.

Kings' Jordan Spence: Set for promotion
Rotowire
Spence is expected to be elevated from AHL Ontario on Wednesday, John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio reports.
Spence's addition to the rost could be an indication that there is an injury for the Kings, as the team already has a full complement of seven defensemen. Still, the 23-man roster limit is no longer in effect, so it could just be a matter of getting another body on the NHL roster. Regardless, Spence is unlikely to be in action against the Avs on Thursday, serving instead as a healthy scratch most likely.
