Kupari was recalled from his conditioning assignment with AHL Manitoba on Friday. - Kupari suited up for the Moose in Wednesday's 4-0 defeat to AHL Belleville, registering two shots and a minus-2 rating.

Kupari (shoulder) might be available to return during the Jets' two-game California road trip, John Lu of TSN reports Friday. - Kupari's timeline will see him out for at least the next three games for sure, which will bring his number of games lost to 21 at a minimum. In his 15 appearances this season, the 23-year-old Finn has managed just one helper and was logging just 9:01 of ice time per game. |

Kupari (shoulder) will not be available until after the Christmas break, despite getting on the ice with a non-contact jersey Tuesday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports. - Kupari notched just one point in 15 games prior to getting hurt, so few fantasy players will be impacted by his continued absence. Even once given the all-clear, Kupari is far from a lock for the lineup on a nightly basis and could struggle for regular minutes. |

Kupari (shoulder) is facing a 4-6 week absence according to associate coach Scott Arniel, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports Wednesday. - Kupari is currently mired in a 13-game pointless streak and has yet to find the back of the net this season. As such, his extended absence is unlikely to impact the majority of fantasy players. David Gustafsson figures to slot into a fourth-line role with Kupari on the shelf. Given his extended layoff, Kupari will almost certainly find himself on injured reserve in the coming days. |

Kupari (upper body) won't finish Tuesday's game versus the Devils. - Kupari played just 1:18 in this contest before he appeared to hurt his right hand or wrist while crashing into the boards. The Jets dressed just 11 forwards Tuesday. If Kupari misses time, David Gustafsson will almost certainly return to the lineup, and the team could add another forward on a call-up. Kupari has struggled with one assist through 15 outings in a fourth-line role this season. |

Kupari, who was a restricted free agent, signed a two-year, $2 million deal with the Jets on Wednesday. - Kupari was acquired from LA on June 27 as part of the deal that sent Pierre-Luc Dubois to the Kings.

Winnipeg acquired Kupari, Alex Iafallo, Gabriel Vilardi and Montreal's second-round pick in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft from the Kings on Tuesday in exchange for Pierre-Luc Dubois. - Kupari chipped in three goals, 80 hits and a career-high 15 points in 66 games last season. He averaged 10:06 of ice time, mostly playing on Los Angeles' fourth line. The 23-year-old forward should be penciled in for a similar role with the Jets in 2023-24. |

Kupari didn't record a point over the Kings' final 11 regular-season games. - Kupari finished the 2022-23 campaign with three goals and 15 points in 66 outings. He averaged just 10:06 of ice time, so it's not surprising that his offensive contributions were limited. Going into LA's first-round series against Edmonton, Kupari is projected to continue serving on the fourth line. |

Kupari logged two assists and five shots on goal in Monday's 8-2 win over the Flames. - Kupari has four helpers over his last three contests, riding the success of linemate Carl Grundstrom. The 23-year-old Kupari's three-game point streak is the longest of his young career.

Kupari supplied an assist and blocked two shots in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Blues. - Kupari hasn't scored since Jan. 3, and he's managed just five helpers over 23 games since that date. The 22-year-old's fourth-line role has a large part of play in his scoring troubles, so fantasy managers shouldn't expect much consistency from the young center. He's at 11 points, 33 shots on net, 58 hits, 26 blocked shots and a minus-6 rating through 48 outings this season. |

Kupari provided an assist in Friday's 3-2 win over the Islanders. - Kupari ended a five-game point drought when he set up an Arthur Kaliyev goal in the second period. It's been 19 contests since Kupari scored a goal -- his chances on offense are limited since he plays on the fourth line. The 22-year-old at least has a regular spot in the lineup. He's at 10 points, 30 shots on net, 54 hits and a minus-4 rating through 44 outings this season. |
None |
| Feb. 12, 2023 |
Kupari produced two assists and went plus-2 in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Penguins. - Kupari helped out on first-period tallies by Jaret Anderson-Dolan and Alex Iafallo. The pair of assists snapped a 10-game point drought for Kupari, who has struggled to do much scoring in a fourth-line role. The 22-year-old center is at nine points, 27 shots on net, 49 hits, 22 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating through 38 outings, so he can probably be left on the waiver wire in most redraft formats. |

Kupari was summoned from AHL Ontario on Tuesday, per the AHL transaction page. - Kupari was temporarily sent down Sunday. He has mostly played as the Kings' fourth-line center this season, producing seven points, 23 shots on goal, 21 blocks and 40 hits in 30 games. |

With a goal and an assist over his last three games, Kupari is starting to find his way on offense, though it remains a tough ask for a 22-year-old stuck in a fourth-line role. The Finn has seven points, 21 shots on net, 34 hits, 16 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 27 contests overall. |

Kupari scored a goal and added two hits in Friday's 5-2 win over the Sharks. - Kupari tallied in the third period to extend the Kings' lead to 4-2. The 22-year-old center has bounced between the NHL and AHL lately, but it appears those are paper transactions, as he's played in every game since Oct. 29 for the Kings. The Finn has two goals, three assists, 11 shots on net, 12 hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating in 14 appearances, mainly as a bottom-six option. |

Kupari has held his own at the NHL level in a bottom-six role, picking up three points, six shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in eight appearances this year. He appears to have some job security in that role, which has seen him work alongside Grundstrom and Kevin Fiala in recent contests. |

Kupari scored a goal during a 5-4 victory over the Panthers on Saturday. - Kupari made the most of his chances Saturday, scoring the Kings' first goal and generating three shots in 10:01 of ice time. The 22-year-old center has shuffled between the parent club and Ontario of the AHL. He was recalled just before Saturday's matchup after being sent down Friday because of salary-cap implications. With the Kings, Kupari skated primarily on the third line with Kevin Fiala and Carl Grundstrom. Both linemates assisted on his second-period marker. |

Kupari was recalled from AHL Ontario on Saturday. - Kupari was loaned to the Reign on Friday in a paper move to save money on the salary cap, as he did not play in Ontario's 2-0 win over Colorado. Kupari has one assist in four games with the Kings this season. |

Kupari notched an assist and went plus-2 in Monday's 5-1 win over the Blues. - Kupari was listed as the third-line center, though his 10:35 of ice time Monday was the lowest of any King. The 22-year-old still contributed with a helper on Carl Grundstrom's goal at 3:44 of the second period, which stood as the game-winner. Kupari should continue to fill in while Quinton Byfield (illness) is out, but it's likely the former heads back to AHL Ontario when the latter is ready to return. |

Kupari was recalled from AHL Ontario on Saturday. - Kupari spent most of last season with the Kings, scoring five times and adding eight assists in 57 games.

Kupari provided an assist and two hits in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Canucks. - Kupari snapped his five-game point drought with a helper on a Gabriel Vilardi goal in the second period. The 22-year-old Kupari ends his rookie season with 13 points, 51 shots on net, 68 hits and a minus-5 rating through 57 contests. He was mainly limited to bottom-six usage, but the 20th overall pick from 2018 could grow into a larger role in 2022-23. It's unclear how much of a role he'll play in the Kings' first-round playoff series versus the Oilers. |

Kupari logged an assist, four shots on goal, three hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Predators. - Kupari set up Quinton Byfield's first of two goals in the third period. Beyond the helper, Kupari was noticeable in his 13:40 of ice time. He's moved up to the third line with the Kings missing four of their regular wingers to injury. The Finn has 11 points, 40 shots on net, 38 hits and a minus-1 rating through 42 contests overall -- he could have some appeal in deep fantasy formats while playing a larger role. |

Kupari scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Panthers. - Kupari opened the scoring at 11:50 of the first period.

Kupari was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Wednesday. - Kupari was demoted to make room for Austin Strand and Christian Wolanin on the active roster.

Kupari logged an assist and two hits in Tuesday's 6-4 loss to the Lightning. - Kupari helped out on an Arthur Kaliyev tally in the second period. The 21-year-old Kupari has gathered three assists in his last six outings, but he has now gone 16 games without a goal. The Finnish center is up to nine points, 32 shots on net, 30 hits and 14 PIM through 37 contests, mainly serving as a third-liner. |

Kupari recorded an assist in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Red Wings. - Kupari set up Drew Doughty for the goal that put the Kings ahead 2-0 midway through the first period. The 21-year-old Kupari snapped an eight-game point drought with the helper. The Finn is up to seven points, 26 shots on net, 25 hits, 12 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 32 contests. He's unlikely to advance much beyond his current third-line role with Anze Kopitar and Phillip Danault ahead of him on the center depth chart. |

Kupari notched an assist in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Stars. - Kupari found Arthur Kaliyev on a partial breakaway for the Kings' second goal of the game. The assist was Kupari's third of the year to go with three goals in 23 contests. The Finn has added 17 shots on net, 22 hits and 12 PIM while filling a bottom-six role. The Kings' top six is fairly well-established at this point, so Kupari isn't likely to take on a bigger role this season. |
