Devin Setoguchi is back in the NHL for now.
The veteran forward agreed to a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Kings, general manager Dean Lombardi announced in a release Tuesday.
It's a two-way deal, according to Fox Sports West's Jon Rosen.
Setoguchi will have "an opportunity ... to re-establish his NHL career and prove he belongs here every day," a team source told Rosen.
The 29-year-old will earn $575,000 at the NHL level, leaving Los Angeles with about $2.1 million in cap space, according to General Fanager.
He was invited to Kings camp on a pro tryout agreement last month, and on his first day opened up to The Hockey News' David Pollack about his battles with alcoholism and depression.
The revelations came one year after he admitted to Sportsnet 590 The FAN that he had checked into rehab in the spring of 2015.
Setoguchi posted 24 points in 30 games for HC Davos in the Swiss league last season after being released from Toronto Maple Leafs camp, where he was also brought in on a PTO.
He enjoyed his best stretch in the NHL from 2008 to 2012, scoring 31 goals with the San Jose Sharks in 2008-09 and adding two more 20-goal campaigns with the club before notching 19 with the Minnesota Wild in 2011-12.
The Sharks selected Setoguchi with the eighth overall pick in 2005.
