The Montreal Canadiens have added some depth, acquiring forward Dwight King from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for a conditional fourth-round draft pick in 2018, the team announced on Wednesday.
The 27-year-old left-winger brings considerable size and playoff experience to the Canadiens, who also added Steve Ott earlier Wednesday morning.
King, who stands at six-foot-four, 229-lbs., had spent his entire seven-year career with Los Angeles, winning Stanley Cups in 2012 and 2014 and tallying 69 career post-season games.
In 63 games this season, King has eight goals and 15 points. He enjoyed his best season in 2013-14, when he scored 15 goals and 30 points to go along with a plus-16 rating.
