The Los Angeles Kings have signed goaltender Anders Lindback to a professional tryout, general manager Dean Lombardi told Lisa Dillman of the Los Angeles Times.
Lombardi also confirmed that Lindback will begin play with the Kings' AHL affiliate, the Ontario Reign.
Lindback, 28, played 19 games for the Arizona Coyotes last season, posting a 5-7-1 record and a .894 save percentage. He then joined the New Jersey Devils' training camp on a professional tryout but was not signed.
The Kings hope Lindback can be a solution in goal as the team deals with the long-term injury to starter Jonathan Quick, as well as the groin issue that will keep Jeff Zatkoff out of the lineup for one week.
Los Angeles will continue to play netminders Peter Budaj and Jack Campbell as Lindback gets up to speed.
