Playing career

edit

On February 17. 2020, Madden's rights along with Tim Schaller, a 2020 second-round pick, and a conditional 2022 fourth-round pick were traded to the Los Angeles Kings in exchange for Tyler Toffoli.[2] On March 30, 2020, he signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Kings, forgoing his final two seasons of college eligibility.[3]

Due to the delayed start of the 2020–21 North American season, Madden was loaned to Eisbären Berlin until the start of the season. However, before he could play a game, he was recalled due to injury.[4][5]

Personal life

edit

Tyler's father is John Madden who played 13 seasons in the NHL, most notably for the New Jersey Devils. Madden was born in Albany when his father was a member of the American Hockey League's Albany River Rats.[6]
