The Poehling twins are related to younger brother Ryan Poehling, who was drafted 25th overall in 2017 by the Montreal Canadiens. All three will look to secure a role with the Reign in what figures to be a highly competitive bunch with several members of the Kings’ prospect pool expected to see regular playing time.
