Jul 1, 2026 · 1 min

The LA Kings just signed veteran defenseman Erik Gustafsson to a one-year, $1M deal, adding a proven offensive blueliner with 10 NHL seasons and a gold medal pedigree. At 34, Gustafsson led the AHL’s Griffins in scoring last year with 37 points and 12 power-play goals — proving he’s still a threat. A fourth-round pick from 2012, he’s played for Blackhawks, Flames, and Red Wings, peaking with 60 points in 2018-19. Now in LA, he’ll aim to bring his scoring touch and leadership to the Kings’ defense.
