Jarome Iginla has been traded from the Avalanche to the Kings in exchange for a 2018 conditional draft pick, the teams announced.

He’s recorded 1,291 points over a 20-year NHL career, also playing for the Flames, Penguins and Bruins, but has yet to win a Stanley Cup. The deal comes as he continues to chase the trophy, although the Kings remain just outside the playoff picture at present.
