He established himself as a reliable scorer in his second season in the NHL.For the most part, he played on the right wing alongside center Quinton Byfield and standout scorer Kevin Fiala, both important pillars in the young core of Los Angeles.Selected in the third round of the 2020 draft, Laferriere has a total of 31 goals and 34 assists in 158 games played with the Kings.The new general manager of Los Angeles, Ken Holland, has resolved his most urgent contractual matters of the summer with the signing of Laferriere.
