Kings Recall Taylor Ward, Reassign Caleb Jones

April 17, 2025 at 3:29 pm CDT | by Brennan McClain Leave a Comment

There will now be two Taylor Wards in the Los Angeles area. The Kings announced they’ve recalled Ward from their AHL affiliate, the Ontario Reign, on an emergency basis and reassigned defenseman Caleb Jones in a corresponding roster move.

While the other Ward has patrolled left field for the MLB’s Los Angeles Angels for the last eight years, the Kings’ Ward has spent the last three-and-a-half years with AHL Ontario, including the 2024-25 AHL season. After a four-year career with the NCAA’s University of Nebraska-Omaha program, Los Angeles brought Ward into the organization as a collegiate free agent in 2022.

He’s been a capable tertiary scorer for the Reign, scoring 35 goals and 59 points in 223 AHL contests. Without having much in the way of postseason experience, Ward has registered two goals and eight points in 14 playoff games. There’s no word on whether or not he’ll suit up for the Kings tonight. Still, they have nothing to lose by allowing him to make his NHL debut.

Meanwhile, Jones was recalled on an emergency basis only a few days ago. He appeared in his first NHL contest in five months, registering zero points against the Seattle Kraken after accruing 11:20 of ice time. Jones, as Ward will eventually, will now be tasked with helping the Reign in their pursuit of the Calder Cup.
