Clarke (upper body) is expected to play against Buffalo on Saturday, per Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Clarke exited Thursday's 6-5 overtime win over Ottawa, but he participated in Friday's practice and won't miss additional time due to the upper-body injury. He has earned three goals, nine points, 21 shots on net, 28 blocked shots and three hits in 12 appearances this season.

Clarke (upper body) won't return to Thursday's game versus the Senators.
Clarke was ruled out for the remainder of the game early in the third period. The 23-year-old defenseman's exit may be at least partially precautionary after the tenor of the game turned contentious. Clarke will be day-to-day leading into Saturday's contest versus the Sabres.
RotoWire via ESPN · Oct 30
Clarke scored a goal and recorded four blocked shots in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.
Clarke nearly had two goals Monday, but he had a tally called back in the second period due to interference. The 23-year-old defenseman is up to three goals, eight points, 21 PIM, 20 shots on net and 24 blocked shots across 10 appearances this season. All three of his goals have arrived in the Kings' last six games, which have helped him display a side of his game that he's slowly improved across his five seasons at the NHL level. With the Kings getting back on track in all phases of the game, Clarke should continue to play a large role both on the power play and at even strength, making him a solid fantasy option in most league formats.

Clarke scored the game-winning goal and added an assist in Thursday's 3-2 overtime victory over the Islanders.
After having a hand in an Artemi Panarin tally early in the first period that opened the scoring, Clarke ended things by wiring a shot past Semyon Varlamov from the faceoff dot. Clarke has fully assumed the mantle of No. 1 defenseman for the Kings this season from Drew Doughty, and through eight games the 23-year-old has two goals and seven points while adding 16 blocked shots, 18 shots on net, 21 PIM and a minus-5 rating.

Clarke scored a goal on six shots and added two PIM in Tuesday's 4-1 loss to the Oilers.
While the Kings have started the year poorly, Clarke's offense has been a bright spot. The goal was his first of the year to go with three assists and 15 shots on net. The 23-year-old defenseman hasn't been credited with a hit yet, but he has racked up 15 PIM and nine blocked shots, showing multiple ways to frustrate opponents. As long as the penalties don't become reckless, Clarke is a lock to handle top-four minutes.

Clarke logged two assists, including one on the power play, and added five shots on goal, two blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in Saturday's 5-4 overtime loss to the Sharks.
Clarke has racked up six shots, four blocks, five PIM and a minus-1 rating over two contests. The 23-year-old defenseman is in a position to take over as the leader on the blue line as Drew Doughty's role continues to shrink. Clarke had 40 points, 185 blocks and 63 PIM over 82 regular-season outings last year, and it wouldn't be surprising for his offense to find another level in 2026-27.
