Wagner was acquired by the Blackhawks at the trade deadline but had his hand infected from a cut from a fight which delayed his debut until Thursday. The 25-year-old will be looking to add to his career numbers, where he has 22 goals, and 40 points across 171 games played.
Wagner has nine goals, three assists, 33 PIMs and a +7 plus/minus through 24 games played with Ontario (AHL) and has been traded to Chicago for future considerations. The 25-year-old has played in 171 career NHL games through three seasons, picking up 22 goals, and 40 points along with 70 PIMs.
Wagner has been a healthy scratch for the last two games but will replace Carl Grundstrom in the lineup on Thursday. Wagner has two goals and one assist in 11 games this season.
Wagner played in 10 straight games but Tyler Toffoli will draw back into the lineup and replace him on Saturday. Toffoli brings a lot more offence to the table than Wagner, who has just three points (2G / 1A) in 11 games this season.
Wagner had three shots in 10:34 TOI in the season opener but is expected to be scratched in favour of Carl Grundstrom on Tuesday.
Wagner has spent most of his season in the NHL but has three goals in seven games with Ontario. In 18 games with the Kings, the 21-year-old winger has one goal and three assists.
Wagner was called up on Sunday and will replace Mike Amadio on Monday. Wagner has no points in eight games with the Kings this season, but has two goals in five games with Ontario (AHL).
The Kings have been using transactions to save some money this season, but Wagner’s return to the AHL could also mean that Gabe Vilardi is ready to make his NHL debut.
Wagner has not picked up a point in five games with the Kings this season, but will draw back in for Sheldon Rempal on Thursday.
