Forward Trevor Lewis is returning to the team where he won two Stanley Cups, signing a one-year, $775K deal with the Los Angeles Kings, per Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman.
The 36-year-old spent the last two seasons with Calgary and is coming off one of his better recent offensive performances, scoring nine goals while chipping in with 11 assists in 80 games. That was his best showing offensively since the 2017-18 campaign, back when he was with the Kings. Of course, Lewis is known more for his physicality and he provided plenty of that with the Flames, contributing 334 hits over his 162 games with them.
A 15-year veteran, Lewis has played in 892 career regular season games between Los Angeles, Winnipeg, and Calgary, picking up 90 goals and 119 assists while averaging a little over 1.8 hits per game.
While Lewis spent a lot of time on the third line in his first stint with the Kings, it’s unlikely that he’ll be in that role this time around. He averaged a little over 12 minutes a night with Calgary but with a stronger group of forwards in Los Angeles, Lewis will likely spend most of his time on the fourth line and penalty kill. On a league minimum contract, he should provide a reasonable return on that agreement.
