With the trade deadline looming the Kings have made a splash acquiring 02 defenceman Matthew Yakubowski from the Winnipeg Freeze of the MJHL in exchange for future considerations.
The 19 year old Winnipeg native has suited up for 32 games this season for his hometown Freeze putting up 13 goals and 7 assists. Matthew will bring plenty of offence to the Kings defensive core as his 13 goals surpasses the total team amount of goals scored by all Kings D-men this year which have combined for 12 goals.
To make room on the roster the Kings have removed goaltender Thomas Wardle from the active roster.
