Kings Sign Forward Segal to Two-Year Contract

The Los Angeles Kings have announced that they have signed right wing Brandon Segal to a two-year contract. Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Segal appeared in two games with the Tampa Bay Lightning last season, his first in the NHL, scoring no points. He also played in 69 games with the Lightning’s AHL affiliate in Norfolk, scoring 26 goals and 26 assists for 52 points and 95 penalty minutes. This is not a bad depth signing for the Kings, as Segal has the potential to become a top-nine forward in the NHL. He has gradually been improving at the AHL level, and could be poised to jump to the NHL within the next two seasons. If he does, he will likely be on the Kings’ fourth line providing plenty of toughness and offensive depth.
