Martin Chromiak's 2025‑26 campaign with the Ontario Reign will be remembered as the most productive of his professional career.
Milestones on the ice
In 71 games he recorded 28 goals and 28 assists, totaling 56 points. Those numbers represent not only career highs but also led the team in several offensive categories, including 5‑on‑5 goals and power‑play points.
A contract with the Kings
The strong performance earned him a one‑year NHL contract extension with the Los Angeles Kings in June 2025. The deal rewards his breakout season but also reflects the team’s willingness to keep a proven scorer on a roster that is already crowded.
Roster realities and future prospects
Coach Marco Sturm and general manager Glenn Gawdin have indicated that the Kings’ depth chart leaves little room for a player who does not fit a bottom‑line role. Charles Hudon and other wingers are also vying for the same spots, making Chromiak’s long‑term placement uncertain.
While the extension guarantees a spot for the upcoming season, the organization has hinted that additional moves could be necessary if the roster cannot accommodate his style of play. For now, Chromiak will aim to prove that his offensive contributions can secure a more permanent position.
