He has 16 goals and 42 points in 84 Stanley Cup Playoff games and won the Stanley Cup twice with the Blackhawks (2009-10 and 2014-15).

The 20-year-old Zykov, a second-round pick (No. 37) in the 2013 NHL Draft, had 14 points in 43 games with Ontario of the American Hockey League this season.
The Kings acquired defenseman Rob Scuderi from the Blackhawks on Friday in a trade for defenseman Christian Ehrhoff.
