The Los Angeles Kings and Vegas Golden Knights are working to try to finalize a deal that would send defenseman Alec Martinez to Sin City, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.
Los Angeles held Martinez out of Tuesday's contest against the Winnipeg Jets for precautionary reasons, though McKenzie noted no trade is expected to materialize before the Kings return home Wednesday.
Martinez is under contract through 2020-21 at a $4-million cap hit.
The 32-year-old has spent his entire career with Los Angeles, helping the club win the Stanley Cup in 2012 and 2014.
