Portillo was loaned back to AHL Ontario on Tuesday, per John Hoven of SiriusXM NHL Network Radio.
EDGE Analysis
Portillo has a 14-3-1 record, a 2.47 GAA and a .905 save percentage across 20 AHL appearances this season. His return to the minors might be an indication that Darcy Kuemper (illness) will be available for Thursday's home game against the Islanders. If Kuemper ends up needing more time, though, then Portillo might find himself back in the NHL. In the meantime, Ontario is set to host AHL Tucson on Wednesday.

Portillo was loaned to AHL Ontario on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
After getting the call-up earlier Tuesday, Portillo will return to Ontario, which indicates that Darcy Kuemper will likely be available for the Kings' matchup Wednesday. If the Kings end up needing Portillo during their upcoming back-to-back, he'll likely be called back up before the second game. Across 20 appearances in the AHL this season, the 25-year-old netminder has a 14-3-1 record, a 2.47 GAA and a .905 save percentage.

Portillo was called up from AHL Ontario on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Portillo's elevation to the NHL roster is a good indication that Darcy Kuemper won't be back from Milan in time to face the Golden Knights on Wednesday, which means Anton Forsberg could get the starting nod at home. With the Kings heading into a back-to-back, it's certainly possible that Portillo gets into one of the two games, though Kuemper will likely be available in time to face Edmonton on Thursday.

Portillo recorded a 19-save shutout in AHL Ontario's 3-0 win over Iowa on Sunday.

Portillo recently missed time due to an injury sustained Nov. 12, and this was his first game back. He earned the third shutout of his AHL career with this effort. He's at a 6-1-1 record with a 2.01 GAA and a .922 save percentage across 10 appearances this season. Now that he's healthy, Portillo will compete with Pheonix Copley for playing time.

The Kings promptly returned Portillo to the minors after acquiring Pheonix Copley from Tampa Bay on Wednesday for future considerations.

The 25-year-old Portillo has a 3.50 GAA and an .854 save percentage in two outings with Ontario this year.
