EL SEGUNDO, CA – The Los Angeles Kings, the parent club of the Manchester Monarchs, have signed unrestricted free agent goaltender Mathieu Chouinard to a one-year contract, Kings Senior Vice President/General Manager Dave Taylor announced today. Per club policy, terms of the agreement were not announced.

Originally selected by the Senators in the first-round (15th overall) in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft, he re-entered the 2000 NHL Entry Draft and was again selected by Ottawa in the second-round (45th overall).
