|---|---|---|
| Feb. 6, 2026 | Hicketts was reassigned to AHL Ontario on Friday. - Hicketts was called up for a pair of games, but he was a healthy scratch in both contests. Hicketts returns to the Reign where he had three goals and 11 assists across 41 AHL contests before his recall. | None |
| Feb. 3, 2026 | Hicketts was recalled from AHL Ontario on Tuesday. - Hicketts has three goals and 14 points through 41 minor-league outings this season. He will be an option for the Kings' upcoming back-to-back against Seattle and Vegas on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively, but it's unclear if he will be in the lineup. | None |
| Oct. 12, 2025 | Hicketts scored a goal on two shots and added an assist in AHL Ontario's 4-2 win over Tucson on Sunday. - Hicketts is the Reign's captain this year, and he's on a two-way deal with the Kings for this season and 2026-27. The 29-year-old defenseman is among the more experienced blueliners available for a call-up, but the Kings are carrying seven defensemen currently and will likely have eight once Kyle Burroughs (upper body) is healthy. Hicketts had 27 points in 62 regular-season outings in 2024-25 with Ontario and offers minimal upside should he be summoned by the big club. | None |
| Oct. 1, 2025 | Hicketts was waived by Los Angeles on Wednesday. - Hicketts hasn't featured in an NHL game since 2019-20, back when he was with the Red Wings. At 29 years of age, the blueliner seems unlikely to ever become a full-time NHL option. Instead, look for Hicketts to ply his trade in the minors with AHL Ontario this year. | None |
| March 20, 2025 | Hicketts has agreed to a two-year, two-way contract with the Kings on Thursday. - Hicketts has three goals, 27 points and 37 PIM in 52 outings with AHL Ontario in 2024-25. The 28-year-old defenseman has appeared in 22 career NHL regular-season games, but he hasn't been in a lineup at the top level since the 2019-20 campaign. | None |
| Sept. 29, 2024 | Hicketts was placed on waivers Sunday for assignment to AHL Ontario, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports. - Hicketts has spent the last four seasons in the AHL. The 28-year-old blueliner last played in the NHL in 2019, when he had two assists in six games with the Red Wings. | None |
| May 24, 2024 | Hicketts signed a one-year, two-way contract worth $775,000 at the NHL level with the Kings on Friday. - Hicketts was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer. The 28-year-old defenseman had a goal and 20 points in 30 regular-season AHL outings with Ontario in 2023-24. He also supplied a goal and six points in eight minor-league playoff appearances this year. Hicketts is expected to remain in the AHL for the start of the 2024-25 campaign. | None |
| Oct. 1, 2023 | Hicketts was placed on waivers Sunday, per Chris Johnston of TSN. - Hicketts last played in the NHL with Detroit in 2019, where he tallied two assists in six games. After signing a two-way deal with Los Angeles in the offseason, the 27-year-old blueliner will serve as organizational depth with AHL Ontario, should he clear waivers. | None |
| July 2, 2023 | Hicketts signed a one-year, two-way contract with Los Angeles on Sunday. - Hicketts registered six goals and 48 points in 72 games for AHL Iowa last campaign. The 27-year-old blueliner has five assists in 22 career NHL outings. Hicketts will probably spend most, if not all, of the 2023-24 season in the minors. | None |
| Oct. 3, 2022 | Hicketts was placed on waivers by the Wild on Monday. - Hicketts never earned a call-up last season after being sent to AHL Iowa before training camp and will likely find himself in a similar situation again this year. Without a way to earn NHL minutes, Hicketts figures to remain a relative non-factor in fantasy contests. | None |
