LA Kings Prospect Update – Week 4/7

A week has passed, and it’s time for another LA Kings prospect update. If you are a goalie enthusiast, this one is for you because not one but TWO goalie prospects highlighted this week’s update. Those two goalies are Hampton Slukynsky and Carter George.

George, 18, made his professional debut in the AHL with the Ontario Reign after being assigned to the Reign four days after his OHL season ended. The talented netminder didn’t disappoint in his debut as he stopped all 33 shots he faced to record his first professional shutout. George also made big, timely stops throughout the game, showcasing why he was one of the top-ranked goalies this past draft. He looked confident, and the moment didn’t seem too big for him. He’ll most likely return to the OHL next season.

Slukynsky, 19, wrapped up his freshman season at Western Michigan University (NCAA). Slukysnky helped lead WMU to their first national championship, making 24 saves on 26 shots in the Broncos’ 6-2 victory over Boston University. The Minnesota native was named to the All-Tournament team to add to his impressive list of team and personal accolades. Slukynsky finished the season with a 19-5-1 record, 1.90 GAA, a .922 save percentage, and one shutout. He’s been a winner at every level.

Kings fans, you got a good glimpse of what the future could be between the pipes.
