Toffoli, `taxi squad’ to join Kings

A source has confirmed that Tyler Toffoli will be among the prospects who will join the Kings on a “taxi squad.” Those players might not join the team until it returns to Los Angeles, and I don’t yet have a full list of the players. It’s not yet known whether the Kings intend to have Toffoli play in this series.

Toffoli, playing for the Ottawa 67s, led the Ontario Hockey League with 52 goals in the regular season, and also had 48 assists in 65 games. In 18 playoff games, Toffoli had 11 goals and seven assists.
