The Los Angeles Kings acquired forward Zack MacEwen from the Philadelphia Flyers for forward Brendan Lemieux and a 2024 fifth-round pick, the teams announced Friday.
MacEwen has four goals and nine points in 46 contests this season. He was activated off of injured reserve Friday after sustaining a broken jaw Jan. 26.
The 26-year-old is tied for ninth leaguewide with six fighting majors in 2022-23. He has a $925,000 cap hit and will be a restricted free agent at season's end.
Lemieux has no goals and three points in 27 games. The Kings originally acquired him at the 2021 trade deadline for a fourth-round pick. The 26-year-old has a cap hit of $1.35 million and is an impending unrestricted free agent.
The Kings create $425,000 of cap space in the transaction.
