Two Kings prospects coming to Reign

Defenseman Colten Teubert and goaltender Linden Rowat, who have just completed their WHL seasons with the Regina Pats, are coming to the Reign.

In other Kings prospect news, 19-year old defenseman Colten Teubert and goaltender Linden Rowat have finished the Regina Pats WHL season and are moving to the Kings ECHL affiliate Ontario Reign. Teubert, the Kings first round pick (11th overall) of last year’s NHL Entry Draft, had a good showing his last week in Juniors, tallying three assists in three games to finish his season in Regina with 37 points (12-25=37) in 60 games. In 48 games with Regina, Rowat posted a 19-24-4 record, including a 3.07 GAA, .901 save percentage and two shutouts.

“It is a great opportunity for both of them. The fact that they get to go to Ontario and play for Karl [Taylor] and join our system to get their feet wet at the pro level, it is very exciting for him. They have got to be very excited at the opportunity. They are coming right out of their junior teams and stepping into the pro environment, so they will learn all of the little things about how to handle themselves and act in the pro environment.

“We are excited about the opportunity that they will have.”

No word yet on when they will arrive, but neither was at practice this morning. Rowat is a 2007 fifth-round pick by the Kings.
