Andersson had 31 goals, 28 assists, 38 PIMs and a -17 plus/minus through 67 games with Ontario (AHL) in 2022-23 and has signed a one-year, two-way contract with Montreal for $775,000.

Andersson will make his Kings debut on Tuesday.

Andersson was a healthy scratch for the first two games of the season but will replace Michael Amadio in the lineup on Tuesday. Andersson, who was acquired from the Rangers at the NHL Draft, had 11 points (5G / 6A) with HV71 Jonkoping (SHL) during his COVID-loan.

The Kings have acquired Lias Andersson from the Rangers for a 2020 second-round pick (No.60 overall pick).

Andersson was the No.7 overall pick in 2017 but was a headache for the Rangers in 2020. Andersson struggled in a fourth line role, posting just one assist in 17 games before being sent to Hartford (AHL). He appeared in 13 AHL games before being suspended by the Rangers and ultimately loaned to HV71 in the SHL. He performed better in his home country, scoring seven goals with five assists (12 points) in 15 games. His dad is a scout for the Kings, so they are taking a low-risk chance on him bouncing back.

The Rangers announced that they expect both Kevin Hayes and Mats Zuccerallo to play on Thursday but Andersson has been called-up on insurance. The 20-year-old forward has six goals and 14 assists (20 points) in 36 games with Hartford this season.

Andersson spent the first half of the season playing for Frolunda in Sweden before captaining team Sweden to a Silver medal in the World Juniors. The summer’s No.7 overall pick had 14 points (7G / 7A) in 22 games with Frolunda and will provide a big boost to the Wolf Pack and potentially the Rangers later in the season.
