In a corresponding move, the Kings have reportedly recalled Nick Shore from the American Hockey League’s Manchester Monarchs.
Shore, 22, has 20 goals and 41 points in 37 AHL games this season.
Originally the Kings’ third-round pick (82nd overall) in 2011, Shore has yet to make his NHL debut.
The Kings are back in action Monday when they play host to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
