EL SEGUNDO, Calif. - The Los Angeles Kings have acquired defenseman Olli Maatta from the Chicago Blackhawks in a trade for minor league forward Brad Morrison.
Maatta spent last season with the Blackhawks after six seasons with the Penguins.

The trade of Maatta clears salary cap space for the Blackhawks, who acquired him in June 2019.
