Hicketts was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hicketts was called up for a pair of games, but he was a healthy scratch in both contests. Hicketts will link back up with the Reign, with whom he had three goals and 11 assists across 41 AHL contests before his recall.

Hicketts was recalled from AHL Ontario on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hicketts has three goals and 14 points through 41 minor-league outings this season. He will be an option for the Kings' upcoming back-to-back against Seattle and Vegas on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, but it's unclear if he will be in the lineup.

Hicketts scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in AHL Ontario's 4-2 win over Tucson on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hicketts is the Reign's captain this year, and he's on a two-way deal with the Kings for this season and 2026-27. The 29-year-old defenseman is among the more experienced blueliners available for a call-up, but the Kings are carrying seven defensemen currently and will likely have eight once Kyle Burroughs (upper body) is healthy. Hicketts had 27 points in 62 regular-season outings in 2024-25 with Ontario and offers minimal upside should he be summoned by the big club.

Hicketts was waived by Los Angeles on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Hicketts hasn't featured in an NHL game since 2019-20, back when he was with the Red Wings. At 29 years of age, the blueliner seems unlikely to ever become a full-time NHL option. Instead, look for Hicketts to ply his trade in the minors with AHL Ontario this year.

Hicketts has agreed to a two-year, two-way contract with the Kings on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Hicketts has three goals, 27 points and 37 PIM in 52 outings with AHL Ontario in 2024-25. The 28-year-old defenseman has appeared in 22 career NHL regular-season games, but he hasn't been in a lineup at the top level since the 2019-20 campaign.

Hicketts was placed on waivers Sunday for assignment to AHL Ontario, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hicketts has spent the last four seasons in the AHL. The 28-year-old blueliner last played in the NHL in 2019, when he had two assists in six games with the Red Wings.

Hicketts signed a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 at the NHL level with the Kings on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Hicketts was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. The 28-year-old defenseman had a goal and 20 points in 30 regular-season AHL outings with Ontario in 2023-24. He also supplied a goal and six points in eight minor-league playoff appearances this year. Hicketts is expected to remain in the AHL for the start of the 2024-25 campaign.

Hicketts was placed on waivers Sunday, per Chris Johnston of TSN.

EDGE Analysis

Hicketts last played in the NHL with Detroit in 2019, where he tallied two assists in six games. After signing a two-way deal with Los Angeles in the offseason, the 27-year-old blueliner will serve as organizational depth with AHL Ontario, should he clear waivers.

Hicketts signed a one-year, two-way contract with Los Angeles on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Hicketts registered six goals and 48 points in 72 games for AHL Iowa last campaign. The 27-year-old blueliner has five assists in 22 career NHL outings. Hicketts will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2023-24 season in the minors.

Hicketts was placed on waivers by the Wild on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hicketts never earned a call-up last season after being sent to AHL Iowa before training camp and will likely find himself in a similar situation again this year. Without a way to earn NHL minutes, Hicketts figures to remain a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.
