EL SEGUNDO, CA — Only twelve days have passed since the Los Angeles Kings acquired left wing prospect Carl Grundstrom as part of the trade that sent veteran defenseman Jake Muzzin to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and Grundstrom has not only hit the ground running, but he has already made quite the impression.
The 21-year-old, 6-1, 200-pound native of Umea, Sweden was assigned to the Ontario Reign of the American Hockey League (Kings primary minor league affiliate) and in five games with the Reign, he has averaged more than a point per game, with two goals and four assists for six points, with a +3 plus/minus rating.
