The Kings have agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $775,000 annually with 2019’s No. 5 overall pick Alex Turcotte, both the Kings and the Ontario Reign announced in news releases Saturday.
The dual proclamations from the parent club and its top minor-league affiliate were apropos since Turcotte has played 91 games at the American Hockey League level but just 32 in the NHL. Those appearances came across four seasons since Turcotte left the University of Wisconsin, where he played for former King Tony Granato.
