The Los Angeles Kings and Vegas Golden Knights are working to try to finalize a deal that would send defenseman Alec Martinez to Sin City, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.
Martinez will be held out of the Kings' contest against the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday for precautionary reasons, Los Angeles announced.
However, no trade is expected to materialize before the Kings return home on Wednesday, adds McKenzie.
Martinez is under contract through 2020-21 at a $4-million cap hit.
The 32-year-old has spent his entire career with Los Angeles, helping the club win the Stanley Cup in 2012 and 2014.
