Kings Sign 2025 First-Rounder Henry Brzustewicz, Assign Him to AHL Ontario

The move lets the 19-year-old sample AHL action on a tryout ahead of his NHL deal starting next season.

Overview

  • Los Angeles signed the right-shot defenseman to a three-year entry-level contract and placed him with the Ontario Reign on a professional tryout for the rest of this season.
  • The contract begins in 2026–27, so any AHL games now come under the tryout and do not start his NHL deal.
  • London’s playoff exit against the Soo Greyhounds ended his junior season, which cleared the way for his jump to the Kings’ AHL affiliate.
  • He led the Knights with 54 points in 59 games this season and paced the team in power-play goals with nine and shots with 231.
  • The 31st pick in the 2025 draft brings championship experience from London’s back-to-back OHL titles and a Memorial Cup to a Reign team leading the AHL’s Pacific Division.
