Rieder was sent to the Kings with goaltender Scott Wedgewood in a trade for Darcy Kuemper on Feb. 21, and came with considerable credentials. He scored 43 goals in his first three seasons with Arizona and his skating was a big reason the Kings wanted him in their lineup. Kings coach John Stevens has tried him on different lines and at both wing spots, including a stint with Anze Kopitar on the top line, in an effort to get Rieder going.
