2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kuzmenko can be a productive top-six forward, but he’s not a reliable one. A regression from his 39-goal and 74-point regular season in 2022-23 was always predictable given his absurd 27.3 shooting percentage, but the fact that he failed to reach even the 50-point mark in either of the last two seasons while bouncing between four different teams is surprising. Still, he seemed to find his way when he was acquired by Los Angeles during the 2024-25 campaign, recording five goals and 17 points over 22 regular-season outings with the Kings after supplying six goals and 20 points across 44 appearances between Philadelphia and Calgary earlier in the campaign. It was enough for Los Angeles to give him a one-year, $4.3 million contract for 2025-26. That contract might work out with Kuzmenko rebounding back above the 50-point mark, but he’s a high-risk bet.

Breaks up shutout bid
Kuzmenko scored a goal on three shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Devils.
ANALYSIS
Kuzmenko scored at 9:49 of the third period to break up Jacob Markstrom's shutout bid. The tally ended a three-game point drought for Kuzmenko. The 29-year-old winger has been fine on offense early in 2025-26, posting three goals, four assists, 19 shots on net, 13 hits and a plus-2 rating over 13 appearances. He's still in a top-line role and can go on hot streaks, so there's some upside for fantasy managers in search of offense.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
After racking up 74 points in 81 regular-season contests as a rookie, Kuzmenko was hampered by a sophomore slump with just 46 points in 72 outings with the Canucks and Flames last year. If the elite skating winger can return to being a 70-point producer, he won't be long for a third-line role and figures to challenge Anthony Mantha and Blake Coleman for more minutes. Even if the 28-year-old Kuzmenko does start the 2024-25 campaign in a middle-six capacity, he should still get plenty of opportunities with the man advantage - possibly even suiting up with the No. 1 unit. Unfortunately for fantasy managers, Kuzmenko's assignment could be a continuously changing role throughout the season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could stay in LA
Kuzmenko and the Kings are both open to a short-term contract, per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Kuzmenko clicked instantly with Anze Kopitar and Adrian Kempe following a deadline deal in March. Overall, Kuzmenko had 37 points in 66 regular-season appearances, including 17 points in 22 outings with the Kings after the trade, and he added six points in six playoff contests. The willingness for a short-term deal could help the Kings maintain cap flexibility while helping Kuzmenko to build value and shed his streaky reputation, setting him up for a bigger payday in a year or two. He is eligible for unrestricted free agency Tuesday.
