Tyler Toffoli News

Martin Jones is battling a minor injury and the Kings needed to recall J.F Berube from Manchester (AHL), so they placed Toffoli on IR to make room.

Toffoli was on the ice this afternoon for a short skate and Darryl Sutter said he is feeling better but needs his enlarged spleen to return to normal. There is no word on when he will return to the lineup.

Toffoli was a late scratch from Saturday’s game vs. the Jets because of mono. There is no timetable for his return, but he is expected to miss at least two weeks. Mono can be tough, because you can lose a substantial amount of weight and strength.

Toffoli, 21, has appeared in 39 games with the Kings this season, recording 19 points (10G / 9A), eight penalty minutes, and a plus-15 rating. Toffoli has also played in 18 games with Manchester this season, recording 24 points (15G / 9A) and four penalty minutes.

Toffoli got off to a hot start with four goals and four assists in his first seven games and 17 points (9G / 8A) 22 games. However he has failed to record a point in his last 11 games and now finds himself back in the AHL.

Toffoli was close to making the Kings out of pre-season, but was sent to Manchester (AHL). He has seven goals and five assists (12 points) in 10 games. He could see top-6 minutes with Jeff Carter on injured reserve.

Toffoli is a great offensive talent who many believed was going to make the Kings roster. He will start the season in the AHL but will likely be the first player called up when the Kings need someone.

Toffoli, who turns 21 today, has played in eight games for the Kings this season, his first in the NHL. He has recorded five points (2-3=5), a plus-three rating and two penalty minutes. He’s averaged 11:55 minutes per game and one of his goals came on the power play. Toffoli played in 58 games with Manchester this season, recording 51 points (28-23=51), 18 penalty minutes and a plus-20 rating.

Toffoli hasn't played for the Kings since April 2.

This likely means Penner drops to the 4th line and Nolan sits out tonight.

Toffoli has 28 goals and 48 points in 55 games for Manchester (AHL) this season.

Doesn't look like Toffoli will be making that long-awaited NHL debut.

Los Angeles’ second round draft pick in 2010, Toffoli broke out with a 107-point campaign as an 18-year old with the Ottawa 67’s in 2010-11, tying for the Ontario Hockey League scoring lead while leading the league in goals scored with 57. He followed that up with a 100-point season (52-48=100) in 2011-12, leading the league in goals for the second straight year with 52.

No immediate fantasy value in the CHL.

Toffoli should be returned to Juniors shortly. The right wing dominated the OHL last season, posting 57 goals and 108 points with the Ottawa 67s. Keep an eye out for him in a few years.
