Canadiens add Dwight King in deal with Los Angeles

The Montreal Canadiens have announced the acquisition of forward Dwight King from the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for a conditional 2018 fourth-round pick.

If King - who is set to become an unrestricted free agent at season's end - signs with the Canadiens, the fourth-round pick will become a third-round selection, according to TVA's Renaud Lavoie.

It adds to a recurring theme, in that the Canadiens have added another depth forward.

King had spent his entire seven-year career with the Kings, who drafted him in the fourth round in 2007.

The 27-year-old has 69 games of playoff experience and has eight goals and 15 points in 63 games this season.
