## Resource

Taylor Ward’s NHL breakout season is already paying off—he’s locked in for two more years with the Kings after a fiery first half of the campaign. Called up from the AHL late last season, Ward made the most of his 36 games, chipping in 7 points (3G, 4A) and proving his worth with relentless energy, physicality, and a knack for blocked shots. He even suited up in a playoff tilt against Colorado, and his first career goal came back in 2024-25. Though his AHL stats (12G, 21P in 32 games) didn’t fully translate, they hint at untapped offensive potential. With roster shakeups this offseason and Jeff Malott’s departure, Ward’s time to shine just got brighter. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
