LA Kings Prospect Update – Week 10/6

Hockey is in full swing, and with that, our weekly LA Kings prospect update here at Hockey Royalty returns. Whether you are new to this or not, let’s have a memory refresher of how this works.

Each week, there will be a weekly prospect update of every prospect’s stats for the week, with one player highlighting the weekly update. The list will not include AHL players on two-way contracts with over five years of NHL experience or who aren’t considered prospects (i.e., Akil Thomas, Glenn Gawdin, Cole Guttman, Taylor Ward, Samuel Bolduc, and Joe Hicketts).

The player who highlighted this week’s prospect update is Henry Brzustewicz. Brzustewicz, drafted in the first round of this most recent draft by the Kings, tallied three goals and 17 shots on goal in two games for the OHL London Knights. The 18-year-old defenseman recorded two goals and 10(!) shots on goal in one of those games.

LA’s number-one-ranked defensive prospect, in my personal rankings, has five points (3 G, 2 A) in six games in the OHL. He has seen time on the power play, penalty kill, and has partnered with fellow Kings prospect, Jared Woolley, on London’s top defensive pair.
