Kyle Garcia Hours before their game against the Arizona Coyotes, the LA Kings made several roster transactions ahead of the morning skate.
Tobias Bjornfot, Pheonix Copley, and Samuel Fagemo were all called up from the Ontario Reign. In addition to the call-ups, Jordan Spence and Rasmus Kupari were both loaned back to Ontario.

Copley will back-up Jonathan Quick, as Cal Petersen has cleared waivers and will be joining the Reign. Bjornfot finally gets his call-up as he has had a good season in Ontario and the Kings need a left-handed shot defenseman. Fagemo has registered six goals in Ontario this season which is tied for first on the team with Aidan Dudas.
Kupari will be back in Ontario, where he started the season, after recording five points in 16 games and averaging 11 minutes of ice time with the Kings. Spence didn’t play a game with the Kings.
