Report: Kings invite KHL defenseman Chris Lee to camp on PTO

The Los Angeles Kings are reportedly looking overseas to shore up their blue line.

KHL defenseman Chris Lee will attend the Kings' training camp on a professional tryout offer, according to John Hoven of Mayors Manor.

The 37-year-old Canadian - who's never appeared in the NHL - spent the past four seasons playing for Metallurg Magnitogorsk, averaging 0.79 points per game and winning a pair of KHL championships.

Last season, he was good for 14 goals and 51 assists in 60 games, adding a goal and 20 assists in 18 postseason appearances.

Lee also won silver with Canada at the 2017 World Championship and will be in the running for a spot on the 2018 Olympic roster should he not land an NHL deal.
