Kings acquire Brendan Lemieux from Rangers

The Kings acquired winger Brendan Lemieux from the New York Rangers Saturday in exchange for a 2021 fourth-round draft pick.

Lemieux, 25, previously played for the Rangers and Winnipeg Jets, totaling 43 points and 299 penalty minutes in 161 career games. His current contract runs through 2022 with a cap hit of $1.55 million.

He is the son of Claude Lemieux, who was one of the most despised players in the league but also one of the most clutch. His teams made the playoffs in all but one year of his career and he won three Stanley Cups with three different franchises–Montreal, New Jersey and Colorado–contributing critical goals and crushing hits along the way.

The younger Lemieux also has a reputation as both a physical player and an agitator, but has not had chances to prove his mettle in the postseason. He has made just one postseason appearance, whereas his father played in 234 playoff games, good for the fifth most all time.

Lemieux was born in Denver when his family was playing for the Colorado Avalanche. He has also lived in Newport Beach.

He has posted two goals, five assists and 59 penalty minutes in 31 games with the Rangers this season. He has also racked up three fighting majors, including one Thursday against the Philadelphia Flyers.
