Report: Kings, Setoguchi working on contract

Devin Setoguchi is reportedly on the verge of an NHL comeback.

The journeyman forward is working out a contract with the Los Angeles Kings, according to Jon Rosen of Fox Sports West.

Setoguchi skated with Anze Kopitar and Dustin Brown at practice Monday. The 29-year-old was invited to Kings camp on a pro tryout agreement last month.

He spent last season with HC Davos in Switzerland after splitting 2014-15 with the Calgary Flames and their AHL affiliate.

Setoguchi got a tryout with the Toronto Maple Leafs last summer, but was released before the start of the season. After being invited to Leafs camp, he admitted checking into rehab just months beforehand.

The 2005 eighth overall pick opened up about his struggles with alcoholism and depression last month after agreeing to his PTO with the Kings.

He scored 31 goals for the San Jose Sharks in 2008-09, following that up with 20, 22, and 19-goal efforts over the next three seasons.
