The transaction reduces the Kings\u2019 active roster to 21, with only 12 forwards, indicating that another roster move is coming.<\/p>\n<p>Lee, 25, was originally <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prohockeyrumors.com\/2026\/01\/kings-recall-andre-lee-taylor-ward.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">recalled<\/a> on January 7th. The 6\u20194\u2033, 190lbs winger appeared in all seven of the Kings\u2019 games since, scoring one goal and one assist while averaging 10:17 of ice time in a bottom-six role.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a similar fashion to how Los Angeles utilized him last year, too. Lee made his NHL debut during the 2024-25 campaign, finishing the season with one goal and three points in 19 games, averaging 9:10 of ice time. He delivered solid physicality, averaging nearly two hits per game.<\/p>\n<p>Despite being a depth forward in the Kings\u2019 depth chart, Lee has carved out a decent career for himself after being a seventh-round pick in the 2019 NHL Draft. After completing his collegiate career at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell, Lee has primarily played for AHL Ontario since then.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s understandably provided much more offense with the Reign. Throughout the last five years, Lee has scored 35 goals and 71 points in 185 games, becoming a decent secondary scorer for the club. He has helped Ontario reach the Calder Cup playoffs on three occasions, scoring four goals in 12 postseason contests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to a team announcement, the Los Angeles Kings have reassigned forward Andre Lee to the AHL\u2019s Ontario&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5126],"tags":[3281,5,186,1760,240,5303,793,145,5304,5302,4,405],"class_list":{"0":"post-416484","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-los-angeles-kings","7":"tag-andre-lee","8":"tag-hockey","9":"tag-kings","10":"tag-la","11":"tag-la-kings","12":"tag-lakings","13":"tag-los-angeles","14":"tag-los-angeles-kings","15":"tag-losangeles","16":"tag-losangeleskings","17":"tag-nhl","18":"tag-transactions"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/115923482401167075","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=416484"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416484\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=416484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=416484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=416484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
