Kings Re-Sign Taylor Ward

July 2, 2025 at 10:12 am CDT | by Josh Erickson 2 Comments

The Kings are using Day 2 of free agency to round out their depth after being one of the bigger spenders on Day 1, signing forward Taylor Ward to a one-year, two-way deal, PuckPedia reports.

Ward, 27, was an unrestricted free agent for less than 24 hours. The undrafted pickup by the Kings back in 2022 now signs his fourth consecutive one-year deal with the club, this one carrying a $775K NHL salary and $300K AHL salary, per PuckPedia. That’s nearly double the $165K AHL salary he earned on last year’s two-way deal.

While Ward again spent the vast majority of the season with AHL Ontario, he was called up for his NHL debut in the Kings’ final game of the season. He scored L.A.’s lone goal in a 5-1 loss to the Flames, recording four shots and three hits in 14:52 of ice time.

Down with Ontario, the University of Nebraska-Omaha product had 12 goals, 15 assists, and 27 points in 66 games with a plus-six rating. He has a 35-60–95 scoring line in 224 AHL games over the last four seasons.

Ward had to clear waivers to head to Ontario at the beginning of last season and likely won’t have a problem doing so again this fall. L.A. has now filled 44 of its 50 contract slots for this season.
