The Los Angeles Kings brought back forward Brendan Lemieux on a one-year deal worth $1.35 million, the team announced Wednesday.
Lemieux became an unrestricted free agent after Los Angeles opted not to tender him a qualifying offer earlier this week.
The 26-year-old logged eight goals and five assists in 50 appearances with the Kings last season while averaging 10:45 minutes per contest. He was acquired by Los Angeles from the New York Rangers midway through the 2020-21 campaign.
Selected by the Buffalo Sabres in the second round of the 2014 draft, Lemieux has 60 points in 230 career NHL games.
