News:Jarret Stoll left Tuesday's Game 1 against San Jose after taking a hit to the head from Raffi Torres.
Analysis: Torres was given a charging penalty, but he may receive more from the league, as Jarret Stoll could have a concussion. No information has come out yet, but we'll see whether Stoll makes any appearances in practice.
News:Jarret Stoll bagged a goal and an assist Saturday as the Kings pulled away from the Sharks for a 5-2 win.
Analysis:Jarret Stoll's first three seasons in an LA sweater were reasonably productive, but his offense fell off a cliff last season, and this year isn't much better. He has 11 points (5G, 6A) in 27 games, a pace that won't get him to 20 points in this shortened campaign. His one burst of glory in Edmonton (68 points in the 2005-06 season) is a dim memory now.
News:Jarret Stoll will not be subject to an NHL hearing for his hit on the Ducks' Cam Fowler on Saturday, Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis:Jarret Stoll hit Fowler from behind and sent him head-first into the boards during Sunday's game. Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau was hoping the NHL would take a look at the hit, but Stoll will not face disciplinary action.
News:Jarret Stoll signed a three-year deal with the Kings on Friday, reports NHL.com.
Analysis: He's a faceoff specialist and third-line mucker who underachieved during the regular season but scored two game-winning goals on the Kings' run to the Cup.
News:Jarret Stoll collected three assists as the Kings ran away from the Blackhawks on Saturday, 4-0. One of the helpers came on the power play.
Analysis: If you happened to start him, you got a serendipitous gift. His previous rate of scoring would never indicate an outburst like this, and we don't expect a recurrence of the three-point night.
News:Jarret Stoll (lower body) was activated from IR for Tuesday's game, Kings.NHL.com reports.
Analysis: He'll be there if you need him Tuesday, but Jarret Stoll's struggles this year indicate that he's unlikely to be an option for most.
News:Jarret Stoll (lower body) is expected to return to the lineup Tuesday, the LA Kings Insider reports.
Analysis: It's not clear exactly where he'll slip back into the lineup though it figures to be in a fourth-line role. He's really struggled this season with just 15 points so far so don't expect miracles.
News:Jarret Stoll (lower body) got in a full practice Sunday, LA Kings Insider reports.
Analysis:Jarret Stoll, who last suited up Feb. 9 against the Panthers, has a pretty good shot to be a go for Tuesday's game against the Coyotes.
News:Jarret Stoll (lower body), who went through an hour-long skate and will attempt to take the morning skate Saturday, remains questionable for Saturday's game, the LA Kings Insider reports.
Analysis: The Kings opened up a roster spot by placing Trent Hunter on waivers so it would appear that Jarret Stoll is getting close, but the morning skate will likely determine his status for Saturday. "We'll wait and see what the trainers say. I'd say he's 50-percent (possibility), based on what they said before. Questionable is 50 percent. So we'll just see later," head coach Darryl Sutter said.
Kings' Stoll Resumes Skating But Uncertain For Saturday
News:Jarret Stoll (lower body injury) was able to skate Thursday but his status for Saturday is still uncertain, the LA Kings Insider reports.
Analysis:Jarret Stoll is back skating but still unable to participate in the team practice so it would seem unlikely that he'd be able to go Saturday.

Analysis: The Kings particularly missed him in the puck-control aspect of the game-winner, as he's their best player on faceoffs.
News:Jarret Stoll (lower body) was placed on IR on Friday, Kings.NHL.com reports.
Analysis:Jarret Stoll hasn't been issued a prognosis or even a diagnosis at this point, so it's difficult to tell what he's dealing with or when he might be back.
News:Jarret Stoll left Thursday's game with an apparent undisclosed injury, the LA Kings Insider reports.
Analysis:Jarret Stoll may have suffered some sort of leg injury as he didn't return to the ice after the apparent injury, though he was able to return to the bench.
Kings' Stoll Finds Scoresheet After Eight-Game Drought
News:Jarret Stoll registered a point for the first time in eight games with an assist in his last game.
Analysis:Jarret Stoll has just 15 points on the season as the Kings have struggled to find any consistent scoring outside of their top line. He'll need to ramp up his game quickly if he wants to reach the 20-goal mark he achieved last year.
News:Jarret Stoll scored for the first time in eight games Saturday.
Analysis:Jarret Stoll's lit the lamp just two times in his last 27 games and has just nine points on the season. The Kings are dead last in scoring and Stoll sees most of his time on the team's third line so don't expect his struggles to end until the Kings can find more consistent offense as a team.
News:Jarret Stoll's unassisted second-period tally was all the offense the Kings could muster Saturday as they dropped a 2-1 decision to Chicago.
Analysis: The first quarter of the season has been a stumble through the wilderness for Jarret Stoll. Offensively, he's a mess -- 2-5-7 in 23 games. We can't offer you any solid indication that he'll turn it around in the short run; you should bench him and find a more productive skater, since several players matching that description are probably hanging out in your league's free-agent pool.
News:Jarret Stoll fired six shots but couldn't connect Saturday as the Kings dropped a heartbreaker to the Coyotes late in overtime.
Analysis: It's about time he started taking aim; he had just 15 shots all season before Saturday's outburst. He still has just two points all season, both coming in an October 18 win over the Blues. If his offense continues to sputter, we might see a demotion to another line.
News:Jarret Stoll, who had a goal and an assist Tuesday, was second among Kings' forwards in ice time, the LA Kings Insider reports.
Analysis: The offseason acquisition of Mike Richards pushed Jarret Stoll onto the team's third line but he's still seeing significant minutes for the Kings in a checking role and figures to see his power-play time increase with Drew Doughty out of the lineup as well.
News: Stoll has been suspended one game for his hit on Ian White, the San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: It's not known who will replace Stoll for Game 2 against the Sharks on Saturday.
Stoll Could Face Disciplinary Action For Hit On Thursday
News: Stoll could face some disciplinary action for his hit on Ian White, the LA Kings Insider reports.
Analysis: It didn't appear to be anything egregious or malacious but we'll have to await further word from the league to see if it might impact Stoll's availability for the reminder of the series.
News: Stoll scored a goal Monday versus the Flames.
Analysis: That gives Stoll 19 goals and 40 points on the season, which is pretty good for a secondary offensive player. This is also Stoll's first goal in nine games, so it's a nice sight for the Kings and any Stoll owners in fantasy.
News: Stoll's modest hot streak continued Saturday as he scored twice against the Oilers. He notched the eventual game-winner in the second frame and capped the scoring with an empty-netter late in the third as LA won at home, 5-2.
Analysis: He has six points in his last five games. We think this will be his most productive season in a purple sweater, though he probably won't approach his career high of 68 points, set with Edmonton in 2005-06.
News: Stoll found nylon twice, including his first shorthanded goal of the campaign, as the Kings beat the Blue Jackets on Saturday. He peppered Columbus goalie Mathieu Garon with nine shots on the night.
Analysis: After a looooooong goal-scoring drought, stretching back to early December, he now has three tallies in two games. We don't forecast trends based on two games, but perhaps he's answered the wake-up call.
News: Stoll was centering the team's primary checking line Wednesday, the LA Kings Insider reports.
Analysis: Stoll's been struggling lately after a quick start to the season with just five points (all assists) in his last 15 games and figures to see that trend continue with his new role.
News: Stoll registered a multi-point game for just the third time this season Saturday, collecting a pair of assists in the Kings' lopsided win over a tired Nashville team.
Analysis: The last time he posted a crooked number was back in October, and these are his first helpers in over a month. Earlier in the campaign, he was cranking out points like he worked in a factory, but he's been quiet for the past few weeks. The result is that he's still on a pace to post solid numbers, though not the breakout season he appeared to be headed for back in November.
News: Stoll had a hand in all three Los Angeles goals as the Kings beat the Devils on Saturday, 3-1.
Analysis: Don't look for him to compete for a league scoring title, but he'll pick up at least a point in most games, making him deceptively valuable in leagues where many owners see only the elite stars.
News: Stoll was on the ice for a season-high 19:15 in Saturday's contest against the Avalanche. He took advantage of the increased ice time by recording his third assist.
Analysis: He is off to a solid start, helping his team tie Dallas for the best record in the Pacific Division. Stoll has proven worthy of consideration for fantasy teams given his consistent play early on.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll scored a goal and finished at plus-1 on Sunday against the Avalanche. Los Angeles tied the game late in the third when Stoll redirected a shot past Craig Anderson. It was his 16th goal and third in six games.
Analysis: Stoll posted 47 points and a career-high plus-13 rating in 73 games in 2009-10. The points were his highest total since posting a career-high 68 in 2005-06 with the Oilers. Stoll has settled in as the Kings' second-line center the last two seasons. He plays a good two-way game for Los Angeles, but since he isn't an elite scorer, Stoll will remain a low-end Fantasy flier on Draft Day 2010.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll tallied a pair of assists and finished at plus-1 on Monday against the Avalanche. It was his first multi-assist game since Jan. 9. Stoll does have four helpers in his last seven games.
Analysis: Stoll's offensive game has been pretty stagnant since February. He dealt with a groin injury in late December, but Stoll was able to bounce back in January. No, his latest slump has more to do with poor performance on the ice than injury. Stoll remains just a low-end Fantasy option since he is not an elite scorer.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll scored a goal, tallied an assist and finished at plus-2 on Tuesday against the Maple Leafs. Dustin Brown stripped the puck from Leafs forward Wayne Primeau along the side boards and scooted toward the net, dishing off to his wide-open teammate Stoll, who recorded his 12th goal at 12:37 of the second period.
Analysis: Stoll has two goals, eight points and a plus-3 rating in 10 games since returning from a groin injury that kept him out several weeks. It has been business as usual. On a side note, Stoll's name has come up in trade rumors involving Thrashers' star Ilya Kovalchuk. We are not sure what kind of impact a trade would have on Stoll, but we feel he has more to lose than gain.
News: C Jarret Stoll returned to action for the Kings on Monday against the Sharks after missing seven games with a sore groin and had an assist on Anze Kopitar's goal. It was his only point in 15:08 of ice time.
Analysis: Stoll picked up where he left off before the injury occurred. He has 10 goals and 26 points in 34 games. He has been a great second-line center for Los Angeles and could threaten as a 60-point player for the first time since 2005-06. Still, Stoll is more of a low-end Fantasy option when healthy.
News: The L.A. Times reports that Kings C Jarret Stoll (groin) is expected to return to the lineup Monday at San Jose after missing seven games.
Analysis: Stoll has been playing very well in 2009-10 and is playing the type of two-way hockey coach Terry Murray loves. Even Fantasy owners have been able to cash in on Stoll's success. Still, he is more of a low-end Fantasy start when healthy, so only worry about using him in larger leagues for Fantasy Week 14 (Jan. 4-10).
News: The Kings have placed C Jarret Stoll on injured reserve with a groin injury.
Analysis: Stoll had a week to rest his groin up, but when it wasn't going to be ready for Saturday's game at Phoenix, the Kings made this move. Stoll is likely to be out for at least another game or two, so just stash him away in deeper leagues and don't use him in Fantasy Week 13 (Dec. 28-Jan. 3).
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll missed a second straight game on Thursday against the Flames because of a groin injury. The Kings don't play again until Dec. 26 against the Coyotes.
Analysis: The Kings were probably smart to sit Stoll since they have a long break coming up, and he will get plenty of time to rest. Stoll dealt with a lower-body injury in late November, but we aren't sure these two issues are related since he was injured on Monday against the Canucks. Stoll has been playing very well in 2009-10 and is playing the type of two-way hockey coach Terry Murray loves. Even Fantasy owners have been able to cash in on Stoll's success. Still, he is more of a low-end Fantasy start when healthy.
News:The Sports Xchange reports Kings C Jarret Stoll missed Tuesday's game against the Oilers with a groin injury and is considered day to day.

News: Kings C Jarret Stoll scored for a third straight game and finished at plus-3 on Wednesday against the Sharks. Stoll started the second-period barrage by tipping Jack Johnson's shot from the point through Evgeni Nabokov's legs to tie it at 2. He has the three goals and three assists during a five-game point streak.
Analysis: Stoll already has six points in five December game after slumping to seven points in 11 November contests. He is up to 10 goals on the season and 24 points in 30 games. He has achieved at least a 10-10 season for a sixth straight campaign. Stoll looks a little bit like the player who totaled a career-high 68 points in 2005-06 with Edmonton. We aren't sure if he can keep up this torrid pace, but Stoll is a nice low-end Fantasy start for the time being.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll failed to put a shot on net Saturday as he returned after missing two games with a lower-body issue.
Analysis: Stoll is doing quite well as the Kings' second-line center with seven goals and 18 points in 24 games this season. He is starting to look like the promising two-way forward we saw early in his career with the Oilers. Stoll is proving to be a decent Fantasy start in deeper leagues when healthy.
News:The Sports Xchange reports Kings C Jarret Stoll missed a second consecutive game on Thursday against the Canucks with an undisclosed lower-body injury and is considered questionable for Saturday's game vs. Chicago.
Analysis: The last thing Stoll wanted to happen was an injury since he has gotten off to such a great start. He is doing quite well as the Kings' second-line center with seven goals and 18 points in 24 games. He is starting to look like the promising two-way forward we saw early in his career with the Oilers. Stoll is proving to be a decent Fantasy start when healthy, but his status for Week 9 (Nov. 30-Dec. 6) remains in jeopardy.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll scored a goal, tallied an assist and finished at plus-1 during Wednesday's game against the Flyers. Stoll put the Kings up 1-0 as he beat Brian Boucher on a wrist shot 14:53 into the first. It was his third goal in five games.
Analysis: Stoll is up to seven goals and 18 points in his first 23 games. He has been very efficient as the Kings' second-line center and is even getting some looks on the power play. Stoll flashed 60-point potential in the past, but he has been just an average offensive player the last few seasons. Continue to use him in deeper leagues, but all owners should be keeping a close eye on his production.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll scored a power-play goal during Monday's game against the Panthers. Stoll tied the game at 2 at 2:23 of the third period with a slap shot from the top of the right faceoff circle that deflected off Jordan Leopold. Stoll scored off a feed from Anze Kopitar, who came into the game as the NHL's scoring leader with 31 points.
Analysis: Stoll is up to six goals and 16 points in his first 22 games. He has been very efficient as the Kings' second-line center and is even getting some looks on the power play. Stoll flashed 60-point potential in the past, but he has been just an average offensive player the last few seasons. Continue to use him in deeper leagues, but all owners should be keeping a close eye on his production.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll scored and assisted in Thursday's win over the Penguins, giving him seven points in his last six games.
Analysis: Stoll is off to a nice start this season with 13 points in 16 games and maybe he's ready to reclaim the form from 2005-06 that saw him put up 68 points with the Oilers. Continue to use him in deeper leagues, but all owners should be keeping a close eye on his production.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll scored and assisted in Sunday's win over the Blue Jackets, giving him back-to-back two-point games.
Analysis: Stoll is a good two-way player, but remains more of a low-end Fantasy forward. He also has value in leagues that reward heavily for short-handed stats.
News:Jarret Stoll timing was perfect. Stoll scored his first goals of the season, twice giving Los Angeles the lead and the Kings went on to beat the Phoenix Coyotes 5-3 on Saturday. "Very timely goals," Stoll said. "That was the story of the game." Stoll broke a 2-2 tie when he took a pass from Scott Parse in the low left slot, faked Ilya Bryzgalov to the ice with a backhand move and pulled the puck across for a forehand shot into the open right side of the net with 17:44 to go. Parse had taken the puck from Coyotes defenseman Keith Yandle just outside the Phoenix zone. Stoll's first goal, with 4 seconds left on the Kings' second two-man advantage of the second period, gave the Kings a 2-1 lead at 14:24. "The 5-on-3 helped," Stoll said. "We can be a little sharper on it. It took us a little while to figure it out, the first minute or so, but we got the goal which was the important thing."
Analysis: Stoll had his first multi-point game of the season, after 12 multi-point games in 2008-09. Stoll is either playing really well or is in coach Terry Murray's doghouse. Murray is trying to get more consistent play from his second-line center. Stoll is a good two-way player, but remains more of a low-end Fantasy forward. He also has value in leagues that reward heavily for short-handed stats.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll assisted Tuesday as he made his preseason debut in a win over the Islanders. Stoll had been dealing with arthritis in his wrist.
Analysis: Stoll a productive offensive year in 2008-09, despite missing the final eight games of the season with a hip problem that didn't require offseason surgery. Now he's dealing with this wrist problem that is definitely worth keeping an eye on in deeper leagues during the early part of the season. He heads into the year with low-end Fantasy appeal, healthy or not.
News: The L.A. Times reports that Kings C Jarret Stoll, who is dealing with arthritis in his right wrist, has been missing training camp workouts recently.
Analysis: Stoll a productive offensive year in 2008-09, despite missing the final eight games of the season with a hip problem that didn't require offseason surgery. Now he's dealing with this wrist problem that is definitely worth keeping an eye on in deeper leagues. He heads into the year with low-end Fantasy appeal, healthy or not.
News:The Sports Xchange reports Kings C Jarret Stoll missed the final eight games of the 2008-09 season with a groin injury but is not expected to require any offseason surgery.
Analysis: Stoll, who was picked up in a trade with Edmonton prior to the season, had his most productive offensive year since totaling a career-high 68 points in 2005-06. Stoll had 18 goals and 41 points in 74 games. He experienced his greatest success when he played on a line with Dustin Brown and Kyle Calder. Stoll will once again be among the Kings' top three centers in 2009-10, but still has low-end Fantasy appeal to begin the season.
News:The Sports Xchange reports Kings C Jarret Stoll missed Saturday's game against the Predators with a groin injury, which he suffered in Thursday's game against Dallas. Stoll is expected to miss the rest of the season.
Analysis: Stoll had some moments in 2008-09 on his way to 41 points (18 goals) in 74 games. It was his most productive season since totaling 68 points in 2005-06 with the Oilers. It appears with the Kings falling out of the playoff picture, the team won't rush Stoll back into action. It appears safe to drop the low-end Fantasy forward.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll suffered a lower body injury on Thursday against the Stars and was unable to play in Saturday's game against the Predators. Brian Boyle was called up from Manchester of the AHL to replace Stoll in the lineup. Stoll is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Stars.
Analysis: Stoll had gone seven games without recording a single point when he got injured. He has not been a factor for the Kings in the past couple of weeks and remains only a low-end option when healthy. He is not recommended for the upcoming scoring period as he is an injury risk and not much is known about the severity of the injury.
News:Jarret Stoll scored twice during power plays and Teddy Purcell had two assists, leading the Los Angeles Kings to a 3-2 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Monday night for their third straight win. The Kings, just three points out of a playoff spot with 16 games remaining, made it 2-0 while Willie Mitchell was off for hooking. Purcell, who drew the penalty, got the puck from Alexander Frolov along the goal line to the left of the net and set up Stoll's short one-timer with a thread-the-needle pass through the crease. Stoll regained the Kings' two-goal margin in the second period with his second of the game and 18th this season. Roberto Luongo stopped a 25-foot wrist shot by Purcell, but Canucks defenseman Mattias Ohlund couldn't find the bouncing puck at his feet. Stoll converted the rebound just 10 seconds after Mats Sundin was penalized.
Analysis: Stoll's multi-goal game was the seventh of his career and his first since Oct. 25 at Nashville. He made it to 40 points Monday for the second time in his career, but it's unlikely he will challenge his career-best of 68 points. Stoll is starting to heat up again after being in an offensive lull for the last few weeks, but he still remains a low-end Fantasy forward.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll tallied a goal and two assists during Wednesday's game against the Ducks. Stoll gave the Kings a 1-0 lead, tipping in a cross-zone pass from Kyle Calder shortly after Los Angeles killed a power play midway through the first period. He has two goals and three assists during a three-game point streak.
Analysis: Stoll has logged 20 or more minutes in five of seven February games and is currently centering the team's most productive line with Kyle Calder and Dustin Brown. Stoll has been on top of his game since late January with five goals and nine assists in his last 11 games. Stoll had a 68-point season with the Oilers in 2005-06 and has the potential to be a viable Fantasy option.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll tallied an assist and finished at even in 21:42 of ice time Saturday against the Oilers. Stoll has one goal and four assists in his last five games.

Stoll had a 68-point season with the Oilers in 2005-06 and has the potential to be a viable Fantasy option.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll tallied two assists and finished at even during Thursday's game against the Capitals. He has three goals and five assists in his last six games.
Analysis: Stoll was in coach Terry Murray's doghouse for most of January because of poor defensive play, but that all changed when he put him on a line with Dustin Brown and Kyle Calder. The trio have really hit it off and Stoll has benefited with a nice stretch of points. Stoll is a good two-way player, but still remains more of a low-end Fantasy option.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll was named the third star in the Kings' 4-3 loss to the Canadiens on Saturday. Stoll had a goal and an assist in the game. He has now tallied at least one point in the last four games with six points in total.
Analysis: Stoll is having what has to be considered his top stretch of the season. He has been criticized for his poor defensive play, but his plus-minus rating over the three games coming into Saturday was plus-3. Stoll does little in terms of Fantasy production usually but can be used as a low-end option, especially in leagues that reward short-handed stats.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll scored for a second straight game Thursday as Los Angeles defeated the Blackhawks 5-2.
Analysis: Stoll has been in coach Terry Murray's doghouse as of late for poor defensive play, but his offense hasn't been much to talk about either. Stoll still gets a lot of PT for Los Angeles, but he is not the 60-point player he once was. Stoll remains a low-end Fantasy option and flier in leagues that reward heavily for short-handed stats.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll had one goal -- his 10th of the season -- and one assist during Wednesday's 6-5 win against the Avalanche. Dustin Brown picked up a loose puck in front of Peter Budaj, skated behind the net and passed it to Stoll, who put it high over Budaj, who was scrambling back into position. Stoll had scored only one goal in his previous 20 games.
Analysis: Stoll has been in coach Terry Murray's doghouse as of late for poor defensive play, but his offense hasn't been much to talk about either. Stoll still gets a lot of PT for Los Angeles, but he is not the 60-point player he once was. Stoll remains a low-end Fantasy option and flier in leagues that reward heavily for short-handed stats.
News:The Sports Xchange reports Kings C Jarret Stoll has wound up in coach Terry Murray's doghouse for a poor penalty he took Thursday night against Anaheim. With the Kings leading 3-0 late in the second period Saturday against the Devils and nearly having killed off a penalty, Stoll attempted to clear the puck but sent it over the defensive-zone glass for a delay-of-game penalty. The Ducks scored on the ensuing power play and eventually tied the game before the Kings won 4-3. "It was about composure, not making the play and putting us down on the 5-on-3," Murray said. On Saturday, Stoll -- who had been centering the second line -- skated on the fourth line between LW Raitis Ivanans and RW Derek Armstrong.
Analysis: Add to the fact that Stoll hasn't scored in five games and has just one assist in that span -- he isn't giving Murray a lot of reasons to trust him right now. Stoll is having a good first season with the Kings for the most part and could eventually break out of this slump. He is no longer a 60-point threat, but can be used as a low-end Fantasy option in larger formats.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll picked up a pair of assists in a loss to the Red Wings on Saturday.
Analysis: Stoll has 18 points on the season and appears on pace to get into the 40s for the first time in three seasons. Leave him for larger formats as a possible stopgap option until he can become more consistent.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll had three assists in Thursday's game against St. Louis, just his second multi-point game of the season. He has points in just two of six December games.
Analysis: Despite the three-assist game, Fantasy owners should not get overly excited. He is clearly still too spotty to trust in most Fantasy leagues. Leave him for larger formats as a possible stopgap option until he can become more consistent.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll scored his eighth goal of the season Friday against Edmonton. He has scored two goals and has three points over his last six games.
Analysis: Despite the goal, Stoll is clearly still too spotty to trust in most Fantasy leagues. Leave him for larger formats as a possible stopgap option until he can become more consistent.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll scored his fifth goal of the season Tuesday in a win over the Stars, putting a stop to a six-game point-less streak.
Analysis: Stoll had 68 points back in 2005-06 with Edmonton, but hasn't got anywhere close to that since. It looks like he might end up somewhere near the 40-point mark this campaign, so continue to only start Stoll in the deepest of formats.
News:Jarret Stoll scored twice for Los Angeles Saturday as they lost to Nashville, 5-4. Stoll, the Kings C, scored their first goal of the game at 10:52 of the second period. Stoll skated through the slot and drew goalie Dan Ellis out in front of the crease. Ellis blocked Stoll's shot, but could not control the rebound. Stoll recovered the puck and fired it into an open net. Stoll added his fourth goal of the season shortly thereafter as he scored on a power play to cut Nashville's lead to 3-2.
Analysis: Stoll now has goals in two straight games and points in four of his last five for a total of six on the year. Stoll is currently the team's second-line center and playing with Alexander Radulov. Stoll has shown in the past to be an offensive savvy player, but until he can showcase 60-point potential once again, he remains a low-end Fantasy option.

Analysis: Stollis currently the team's second-line center and playing with Alexander Radulov. Stoll has shown in the past to be an offensive savvy player, but until he can showcase 60-point potential once again, he remains a low-end Fantasy option.
News: Kings C Jarret Stoll had his first two points, including a power-play goal, with Los Angeles Tuesday during a 6-3 win against the Ducks. The undisciplined Ducks were assessed their fifth consecutive minor penalty in the second period after Jean-Sebastien Giguere was called for a hooking infraction with Patrick O'Sullivan skating through the crease. Stoll capitalized 56 seconds later with a one-timer from the top of the right circle that beat Giguere high to the glove side. He also had an assist and finished at plus-1 in the game.
Analysis: The Kings traded Lubomir Visnovsky in the offseason to land Stoll, so it's not like he is going to be sitting on the bench. He is currently the team's second-line center and playing with Alexander Radulov. Stoll has shown in the past to be an offensive savvy player, but until he can showcase 60-point potential once again, he remains a low-end Fantasy option.
News:The Sports Xchange reports Kings C Jarret Stoll, acquired in the trade with Edmonton, is expected to inherit second-line center duties and provide solid two-way play for a team that needs improved defense.
Analysis: Stoll has been very good in the preseason thus far with one goal and two assists in four games. He also has six penalty minutes. Stoll had another disappointing season in Edmonton in 2007-08 after posting a career-high 68 points in 2005-06. The move to L.A. could help restart Stoll's career, but he still remains a low-end Fantasy forward heading into the season.

News: Oilers C Jarret Stoll recorded his 10th goal of the season during a 4-2 win against Minnesota Tuesday. Stoll scored on a power play at 10:33 of the second period when he unleashed a shot from the point which eluded a screened Niklas Backstrom. It was his second goal in three games.
Analysis: Stoll has struggled to regain the form when he tallied 68 points in 2005-06. He is starting to take advantage of some extra playing time created by the loss of Shawn Horcoff. He has four points in his last four games. Treat him as a low-end Fantasy option until further notice.
News: Edmonton Oilers center Shawn Horcoff will miss the rest of the season with a torn labrum in his left shoulder. The 29-year-old forward, who leads the team with 50 points in 53 games this season, aggravated the injury when fell awkwardly at the NHL All-Star game in Atlanta on Jan. 27. "I tweaked it three times before that already this season," Horcoff said. "Each time you do it, it gets worse. That's the thing that scared me the most. It was just a harmless play. I got clipped from behind a little bit and I just went to catch myself on the ice. It (shoulder) sublexed. It popped in and out." Marty Reasoner and Jarret Stoll have a lot to gain in Horcoff's absence.
Analysis: Stoll has struggled to regain the form when he tallied 68 points in 2005-06. This injury to Horcoff could open the flood gates once again. Right now, he is centering the second line with Robert Nilsson and Sam Gagner. But with time, he might be on the top line with Dustin Penner and Ales Hemsky. Treat him as a low-end Fantasy option until further notice.
News: Oilers C Jarret Stoll earned his first points in six games when he scored two goals in the final 1:23 of regulation to force overtime on Thursday for an eventual 4-3 shootout win at the Florida Panthers. The Oilers had another goal by Stoll disallowed by a dubious penalty call in the second period when they trailed 1-0. He beat Vokoun with a slap shot from the point as Vokoun was falling down, but an interference penalty was called on Dustin Penner. Replays showed Penner barely touched Vokoun as he skated across the crease.
Analysis: They were his first goals in eight games and he has eight goals to go with 15 assists for the season. Stoll has overcome the concussion that ended his 2006-07 season and should be considered a nice on-form flier in deeper leagues at this time.
News: Oilers C Jarret Stoll made it seven points in his last eight games Sunday when he assisted on a goal in Edmonton's 2-1 win over the Calgary Flames.
Analysis: Stoll has one third of his 21 points this season in his last eight games, which tells you what kind of a roll the fourth-year center. He is clearly over the concussion that ended his 2006-07 season and should be considered a nice on-form flier in deeper leagues at this time.
News: Oilers third-line C Jarret Stoll now has five points in his last six games after contributing in Monday's 4- win over the Islanders with a goal and an assist.
Analysis: Stoll is on pace for 34 points this season, which makes him pretty much useless as anything but a low-end reserve in super-deep leagues at the moment.
News: Oilers C Jarret Stoll scored for the second time in five games during Saturday's contest against the Rangers. Edmonton scored the game's first goal 11 minutes into the second period as Stoll's power-play point shot deflected off Chris Drury's stick and turned into a knuckleball, fluttering past Henrik Lundqvist.
Analysis: Stoll now has five goals and 12 assists in 42 games this season. He doesn't look quite like the guy who managed 68 points two seasons ago, but can be used as a low-end Fantasy forward at this time.
News: The Oilers sat out forwards Jarret Stoll and Raffi Torres on Friday against the Blues as a result of a third-period collapse in a loss to Pittsburgh on Wednesday. Oilers head coach Craig MacTavish says he felt it was time to shake things up in the room a bit by sending a message to Stoll and Torres. "I analyzed it from a thousand different perspectives and at the end of the day, based on how they were playing, that we wouldn't be that far behind in terms of giving up the game (Friday) or something," he said. "At the same time we hope that it has a residual effect on them. That they get a look at things from a different perspective and realize what a privilege it is to be in that lineup."
Analysis: Stoll does have five assists in his last five games, but MacTavish has been disappointed with the way he has been playing defense. We don't expect him to be sidelined long, but Stoll doesn't look like the player who tallied 68 points in 2005-06. He is merely a low-end Fantasy flier when active.

Jarret Stoll beat Jason LaBarbera with a one-timer from the middle of the left circle after Ales Hemsky made a cross-ice pass from the right boards.
Analysis: Stoll finally broke into the goal column on Saturday, but he still stands with a nasty looking minus-9 rating. Stoll had a down season in 2006-07 after posting a career-high 68 points in 2005-06. Right now, he is nothing more than a low-end Fantasy forward as he looks more like the guy who posted 39 points last season.

The second line consists of Ales Hemsky, Petr Sykora and Raffi Torres, while the third line is made up of Ethan Moreau, Fernando Pisani and Jarret Stoll.
Analysis: Stoll has a powerful shot, so hopefully his status on the team's third line still means he will get quality power play time.
