Signs with LA Dell signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Kings before being placed on waivers Monday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Impact Dell spent a few weeks with Carolina on a professional tryout agreement from mid-December to early January, but he wasn't able to secure a contract with the Hurricanes. The 34-year-old vet has appeared in five AHL games with Ontario this season, going 2-3-0 while posting a 2.63 GAA and a .906 save percentage. Despite the fact he's now on a two-way deal, Dell will likely stick with AHL Ontario, the Kings' minor-league affiliate, for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign unless Cam Talbot or David Rittich suffers an injury.

Released from PTO Dell's professional tryout agreement with Carolina has ended, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal on Friday.

If he can earn a standard contract with the Hurricanes, Dell could slot in as Pyotr Kochetkov's backup. Antti Raanta was demoted to AHL Chicago on Sunday and Frederik Andersen is still out indefinitely due to a blood clotting issue.

Released from PTO The Blue Jackets released Dell from his professional tryout Thursday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
