The Los Angeles Kings have reportedly found a goalie to fill in for Jonathan Quick and Jeff Zatkoff.

According to a report out of Sweden, Anders Lindback will be joining the Kings on a “short-term contract”.

Lindback spent training camp with the New Jersey Devils, where he played well, but the team ultimately decided to stick with Cory Schneider and Keith Kinkaid.

If you count the PTO with the Devils, this will be his seventh team in the last six seasons.

The 28-year-old spent the 2015-16 campaign with the Arizona Coyotes. He had a 5-7-1 record with a 3.11 goals-against-average and a .894 save percentage in 19 appearances.

This isn’t a long-term solution for the Kings, but at least it’s an affordable one.

Update:

It’s a PTO for Lindback. He’ll report to AHL Ontario, per Sportsnet’s John Shannon.
