Erik Portillo News: Returns to minors

Updated on October 15, 2025 at 2:00pm

Portillo was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Wednesday.

The Kings promptly returned Portillo to the minors after acquiring Pheonix Copley from Tampa Bay on Wednesday for future considerations. Copley could compete for playing time with Anton Forsberg if Darcy Kuemper (lower body) misses any game action. The 25-year-old Portillo has a 3.50 GAA and an .854 save percentage in two outings with Ontario this year.
