Kings Acquire Scott Laughton from Maple Leafs

The Los Angeles Kings acquired center Scott Laughton from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for a conditional third-round pick that upgrades to a second-rounder if the Kings qualify for the playoffs. Laughton, 31, has recorded eight goals and 12 points in 43 games this season. Known for his penalty-killing ability and leadership, he provides the Kings with valuable bottom-six depth as they push for a postseason berth.
