Kings Assign Allison to Phoenix Affiliate

HULL, Quebec — Ten-year NHL veteran Mike Allison was assigned to the International Hockey League Phoenix Roadrunners by the Kings on Thursday.

“Mike is not in our plans right now, and this gives us a chance to take a long look at some of the kids,” King General Manager Rogie Vachon said.

Allison, 29, played for the New York Rangers and Toronto Maple Leafs before coming to the Kings in December, 1987. He had two goals and 11 assists last season. His NHL totals are 102 goals and 166 assists for 268 points.

Allison will report to Phooenix next Thursday.
