With Jay Beagle (lower-body) and Nick Ritchie (upper-body) both hurt, Imama could make his NHL debut on Friday. The 6-foot-1, 221 lbs. winger has scored five goals with seven assists (12 points) and 178 PIMS in 54 games with Tucson this season.
Imama was originally a sixth-round pick of the Lightning in 2015 but was traded to the Kings before he turned pro. The 24-year-old winger spent all of 2021 in the AHL, where he had nine goals and five assists (14 points) in 31 games for Ontario (AHL). He'll likely report to Tucson (AHL) to start 2021.
