LA Kings’ 2020 third-round pick Kasper Simontaival is off to a fast start with TUTO Hockey, scoring three points in Thursday’s contest.
The first order of business for Kasper Simontaival after being drafted. Locate another team for more playing time. The LA Kings selected the 18-year-old in the third round of the 2020 NHL Draft. At the time, he was playing for Tappara of the Liiga.
But he tallied just one assist in four games in Finland’s top hockey league.
He was loaned to TUTO Hockey of the Mestis, the second-tier league.
