Schenn has signed a 1-day amateur tryout contract with the Kings and is expected to play for them tonight in Vancouver against the Canucks. Apparently NHL rules do not permit him to stick around longer than one day, so he will presumably be reassigned to Brandon tomorrow.
The Kings lost forward Andrei Loktionov with an injury last night in Edmonton and with Schenn already on the left coast - having played last night in Victoria in the Canada-Russia series game there - it was probably more convenient for the Kings to add him for tonight on an emergency basis than try to fly in a replacement from their New England-based AHL club in time for the game.
Too bad the game is against Vancouver and not against Toronto. If it were the Leaves, then Schenn could make his NHL debut by facing his older brother Luke. Oh well.
