The Winnipeg Jets acquired winger Alex Iafallo in a trade with the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday. The 29-year-old was involved in a deal that sent Pierre-Luc Dubois to California. Iafallo will pack his bags for the first time in his career, having signed with the Kings in 2017 after going undrafted. The Eden, New York native tallied 85 goals and 204 points in 420 games with the team. Iafallo played the best hockey of his career last season, but he couldn't get more than 36 points after missing over 20 games with a lower-body injury. He should have a good chance to get past his current career best of 43 points next season in Winnipeg if he stays healthy.
Los Angeles Kings left wing Alex Iafallo (lower body) will make his first appearance since Oct. 17 in Tuesday's battle with the Senators. He will skate in only his fifth game of the season after going down very early on with a lower-body injury.

He will go on the third line Tuesday to skate with Gabriel Vilardi and Adrian Kempe.
Los Angeles Kings left wing Alex Iafallo (lower body) is on the cusp of returning to the lineup. He's expected to make his comeback during the team's upcoming six-game road trip.

Iafallo has been practicing on the third line with Adrian Kempe and Gabriel Vilardi, who are both among the team's top goal-scorers this season, so he is going to make his return in a pretty nice position. The trip starts Tuesday in Ottawa and it's not out of the question that Iafallo will already join the lineup then.
