Portland Winterhawks goaltender Cole Kehler signed a three-year entry level contract with the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings on Friday.

The 19-year-old Altona product, who was between the pipes for the Winterhawks in their 1-0 loss to Vancouver Friday night in Oregon, had a 17-4-0-1 record with a .931 save percentage, 2.20 goals against average and two shutouts, prior to the game with the Giants.

Kehler, who attended the Winnipeg Jets Development Camp this past June, was selected by Kamloops in the sixth round of the 2012 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft.

He played 32 games for the Blazers before being traded to Portland in July of 2016.

Kehler appeared in 56 games with the Winterhawks last season and helped Portland reach round two of the WHL playoffs.

The Winterhawks are in first place in the WHL’s U.S. Division and have a five point lead on the second place Everett Silvertips.

Kehler has won 17 of Portland’s 20 games this season.
