Kings' Arthur Kaliyev: Scores lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Kaliyev scored Los Angeles' only goal in Thursday's 4-1 loss to Edmonton.
It's been a tough season for Kaliyev. He's been a healthy scratch frequently, and the production simply hasn't been there. Thursday's goal, which he got despite only seeing 5:48 of ice time, ended a 19-game run without a point. His upside is extremely limited.
Kaliyev notched an assist and four shots on goal in Wednesday's 5-1 win over the Sharks.
Kaliyev set up Pierre-Luc Dubois' second-period marker. The helper was Kaliyev's second over the last four games, both of which have come against the Sharks. The 22-year-old winger continues to hold down a spot on the third line and the second power-play unit, but he hasn't taken much of a step forward this season. He's produced 14 points (four on the power play) through 28 appearances while adding 62 shots on net and a plus-7 rating. That production is right in line with the pace that saw him log 28 points in 56 outings a season ago.

Rotowire
Kaliyev recorded a power-play assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Sharks.
Kaliyev ended a four-game point drought with the helper, which was his first power-play point since Nov. 24. The winger has been on the third line in recent contests. He's up to 13 points, 55 shots on net, 12 PIM and a plus-7 rating through 25 appearances. He's earned four of his points on the power play, giving him appeal in deeper formats, though his production is mostly limited to offense.

Kings' Arthur Kaliyev: Pots lone goal in loss
Rotowire
Kaliyev scored a goal on two shots in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Capitals.
Kaliyev opened the scoring at 9:04 of the first period, but the Kings' only lead of the game lasted just over three minutes before Anthony Mantha tied it up. Kaliyev has shown signs of warming up on offense with two goals and two assists over his last five outings. For the year, the 22-year-old is at 11 points, 37 shots on net and a plus-7 rating over 18 contests. His fourth-line role at even strength is discouraging, but he remains part of the second power-play unit, giving him a chance to produce solid offense.

Kings' Arthur Kaliyev: Emerging as secondary scorer
Rotowire
Kaliyev had a goal and an assist in a 5-0 win over Philadelphia on Saturday.
It was a power-play goal that pushed the score to 3-0 in the second frame. Kaliyev has three goals and four assists in nine games, and he is plus-5 with 21 shots. Despite his 6-foot-2 and 210-pound frame, Kaliyev plays more of a finesse game -- he has only four hits thus far. He has clicked with center, Phillip Danault, on the Kings' second line. With his offense increasing, Kaliyev can play an important role as a secondary scorer on a strong Kings team.

Kings' Arthur Kaliyev: Suspension served
Rotowire
Kaliyev has completed his suspension and is eligible to play Tuesday versus the Jets.
Kaliyev has bounced between the NHL and the AHL early in the year, but it's unclear if that will continue now that his suspension is over. He should compete for a middle-six job, especially since the Kings have stumbled to an 0-1-1 record out of the gate.
