L.A. Kings Recall Carter George
The Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL) announced this afternoon that they have recalled Soo Greyhounds netminder Carter George to serve as their emergency backup goaltender (EBUG) for the remainder of the postseason.
George split time between the Owen Sound Attack and Greyhounds this season, posting a 23-17-5 record. He also appeared in 10 OHL playoff games, going 5-5-0 with a 2.36 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage. Internationally, he helped Team Canada capture a bronze medal this past January at the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championship.
Across 159 career OHL games, the 19-year-old has compiled a 70-63-9-11 record, eight shutouts, a 3.09 goals-against average, and a .909 save percentage. This season, he also made history, becoming the first goaltender in OHL history to score two career goals.
A second-round selection (57th overall) by LA in the 2024 NHL Draft, this marks the second time in his career that George has been recalled by the Kings during their postseason run with the first coming last season.
