Alexei Ponikarovsky is reportedly joining the Kings on a one-year contract, and I should be able to get details shortly. Ponikarovsky, 30, is listed at 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, and is a left winger (a native of Kiev) who has been in the NHL for parts of nine seasons, with Toronto and Pittsburgh. He’s a four-time 20-goal scorer who, statistically, had his best season in 2008-09, when he had 23 goals and 38 assists in 82 games.
Some video clips of Ponikarovsky from last season can be found here.
