LA Kings Loan Cal Petersen to Ontario Reign

The LA Kings have announced that goaltender Cal Petersen has cleared waivers and been loaned to the Ontario Reign, the Kings' primary affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL).
Petersen, 28, has earned a 5-3-2 record in 10 games with the Kings this season, posting a 3.75 goals-against average and a .868 save percentage (SV%). Last season, the 6-2, 185-pound netminder posted a 20-14-2 record with a 2.89 GAA and .895 SV% to establish career-highs in games played (37), games started (35), wins (20), shutouts (3) and minutes played (2,176). In 101 career NHL games, the Waterloo, Iowa native has registered a 44-42-10 record with a 2.92 GAA, .905 SV%, and four shutouts.

Signed by the Kings as a free agent on July 1, 2017, Petersen spent his first three professional seasons with the Ontario Reign from 2017-2020, appearing in 116 AHL games and posting a 53-48-9 record with a 3.32 GAA, .904 SV% and seven shutouts. Twice, he was named to the AHL All-Star Game (2017-18, 2019-20).
Internationally, Petersen represented Team USA at the 2021 IIHF Men's World Championship, backstopping the U.S. to a bronze medal to become just the fourth American player to earn Best Goaltender tournament honors. He posted a 5-2-0 record with a 1.29 GAA, .953 SV% and two shutouts in seven contests to lead all tournament netminders in all three categories. His 1.29 GAA was also the second-best ever by a U.S. netminder in event history.
The Kings continue their homestand tonight, Dec. 1, against the Arizona Coyotes at Crypto.com Arena. Puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m. PT and will be broadcast on Bally Sports West TV and the LA Kings Audio Network on iHeartRadio.
