The growth continues for Brandt Clarke, who’s averaging about two minutes more per game than last season, mainly in the Kings’ top four. With him on the ice at five-on-five, Los Angeles is outscoring opponents 18-11 and controlling about 55 percent of the expected goals. Only Mikey Anderson has a better Defensive Rating on the Kings, and Clarke’s point production at five-on-five has increased from 1.21 to 1.54 points per 60.
