Forward Jonny Brodzinski saw many familiar faces in the Kings’ locker room after he was promoted from Ontario (Calif.) of the American Hockey League on Thursday.
Brodzinski, chosen in the fifth round of the 2013 draft, felt comfortable after seeing forward Adrian Kempe, his linemate and roommate in Ontario, and after being reunited with defenseman Kevin Gravel and center Nic Dowd, his teammates at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. “Knowing some of these guys a long time from development camps and all the preseason camps, it’s real easy to adapt,” said Brodzinski, who led the Reign with 25 goals and 47 points in 56 games.
