Anderson, 22, has not played since the Kings’ 3-2 overtime win in Boston back on March 7. With Drew Doughty exiting at the same time, LA was forced to scramble along the blue line.
Having clinched a playoff spot for the first time since the 2017-2018 season, Mikey Anderson will get a couple of games to shake the rust off before Game 1 against the Edmonton Oilers early next week.
The Fridley, Minnesota native had two goals and five assists to go along with a +5 rating in 55 games prior to his injury.
Welcome back, Mikey!
