Studnicka signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Kings on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Studnicka had seven goals and 21 points in 36 AHL regular-season contests between Abbotsford and San Jose last year. The 25-year-old also recorded a goal in 22 regular-season outings between the Canucks and the Sharks. Studnicka is likely to start 2024-25 in the minors, but he could get some stints in the NHL during the campaign.
