Lias Andersson Recalled From Conditioning Loan

March 8, 2022 at 11:20 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 12 Comments

March 8: After four excellent games with the Reign, Andersson has been recalled from his conditioning loan and activated from injured reserve. The young forward scored six goals in those four games, actually matching his previous minor league high in just a week’s time. To make room on the Kings’ active roster, Brendan Lemieux has been moved to injured reserve, retroactive to March 4.

March 2: Los Angeles Kings forward Lias Andersson has been sent to the AHL on a conditioning loan, suggesting he is nearing a return from the undisclosed injury that has kept him out for nearly two months.

The loan is of the long-term injury variety, meaning he does not need to be activated before sending him down and he will still not appear on the Kings’ roster while he plays in the minor leagues. He hasn’t played an NHL game since January 8 and has just 13 appearances this season.

Last season, when Andersson spent some time in the AHL, he dominated the competition, scoring 17 points in 15 games for the Ontario Reign. That success hasn’t carried over to the Kings this year though, as the 2017 seventh-overall pick still can’t seem to find any consistency at the NHL level. In those 13 appearances this season, he has just a single point, taking his career total to 16 in 102 games.

An arbitration-eligible restricted free agent at the end of the season, Andersson is getting dangerously close to going unqualified, given he will be 24 in October and has shown very rare flashes of NHL-quality play to this point. Perhaps the Kings believe he can still take that next step, but a good stretch run this season would be huge for the future of his professional career in North America.

    Was this the kid that threw his medal in the crowd because he didn’t earn a gold one?

      Yep, the kid seemed to have an entitled attitude with the rangers also. Cockiness is great but when your production doesn’t match up than you get a Lias.

    Should be a throw in prospect in an upcoming trade. No room for him with much better prospects at Ontario already ahead of him for a call up.

    Lol.

    All the negative comments about Lias Andersson. I’m a life long Kings fan from 1976 onwards.

    I watch every game if televised and not limited to ESPN+

    I couldn’t tell you the first thing about Anderssons ability. He hasn’t played enough with the Kings to properly evaluate.

    I do know thing Kings were picked as a consensus 5th by ESPN and others in the preseason behind the Kraken.

    So considering the Kings are now in 2nd in the division and 5th in the conference I’d say the front office knows what they’re doing

    In other words, the front office knows stuff we don’t. And when you state that Andersson is a BUST etc, you’re also saying that the front office is INCOMPETENT.

    And both might be true. But I don’t think you or I actually KNOW anything yet. We just think we do.
