KINGS ADD RIEDER AND WEDGEWOOD FROM COYOTES FOR KUEMPER

The Kings have traded for forward Tobias Rieder and goaltender Scott Wedgewood from the Arizona Coyotes in exchange for goaltender Darcy Kuemper.

The move for the 25-year-old Rieder helps add forward depth and speed on the wing for the Kings — positions of need for the team heading towards the Feb. 26 trade deadline. Rieder has eight goals and 11 assists in 58 games this year. Last season he set a career-high of 16 goals.

Rieder is in the final season of a two-year $4.45 million contract according to Cap Friendly. He will be a restricted free agent this summer. According to The Athletic’s Pierre LeBrun, the Coyotes will retain 15 percent of Rieder’s salary.
