The Kings made a roster move on Friday to add a bit more depth up front. The team announced (Twitter link) that they’ve recalled winger Andre Lee from AHL Ontario on an emergency basis. Mayor’s Manor reports that winger Trevor Moore’s availability for tomorrow’s game against the Rangers is in question, necessitating this move.
The 24-year-old has gotten into 16 games so far this season with Los Angeles in his first taste of NHL action. That said, his playing time has largely been limited as he’s logging just 9:26 per game. Offensively, Lee has been limited to recording two assists although he’s also averaging just over two hits per contest.
After spending more than a month on an NHL roster to start the season, Lee was sent down in mid-November but he has been recalled multiple times since then. As a result, he has only played in four games with the Reign, picking up a goal and an assist after picking up 13 points in 36 games with them last season.
With the recall, the Kings are now at the maximum of 23 players on their active roster.
