Kings acquire Mitchell from Canadiens

The Los Angeles Kings have acquired forward Torrey Mitchell from the Montreal Canadiens in exchange for a conditional draft pick in 2018, it was announced Thursday.

Should the Kings qualify for next year's postseason, the Canadiens will instead receive their own 2018 fourth-round pick that was originally exchanged to the Kings for forward Dwight King at last year's trade deadline.

Mitchell, 32, has been held pointless in 11 games with the Canadiens this season. He tallied 17 points in 78 games with Montreal last year.

The Canadiens originally acquired Mitchell from the Buffalo Sabres in 2015.
