Nikolai Prokhorkin is going home.

The Russian forward is departing the Los Angeles Kings after just one season, signing a two-year deal with Metallurg Magnitogorsk.

Prokhorkin collected four goals and 14 points in 43 games with the Kings this past campaign.

The 26-year-old came over to the NHL after producing a career-high 20 goals and 41 points in as many contests with the KHL's SKA Saint Petersburg in 2018-19. He helped the team win the league's championship, the Gagarin Cup, in 2017.

Prokhorkin spent parts of nine seasons in the KHL with three clubs before making the move to North America.

Los Angeles selected him 121st overall in the 2012 draft.
