Ward was loaned to AHL Ontario on Tuesday.
Ward has one goal, four shots on net, two blocked shots and nine hits in four NHL outings with Los Angeles this season. He also has two goals and one assist in four AHL appearances this campaign.

Ward posted a goal and dished out three hits in Monday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.
Ward wasted no time getting on the board in his first taste of NHL action this season, as he found the back of the net on a breakaway just 75 seconds into Monday's big win. Prior to his call up to the big club on Oct. 17, he posted steady production for AHL Ontario with two goals, three points and 14 shots on net across four appearances. With Mats Zuccarello (lower body) landing on injured reserve Monday and Alex Turcotte (undisclosed) working his way back from injury, Ward should continue to see a decent chunk of playing time at the NHL level in the meantime.

Ward was called up from AHL Ontario by Los Angeles on Saturday.
Jared Wright was returned to the minors in a corresponding move. Ward has two goals and three points in four outings with Ontario in 2026-27. The 28-year-old Ward might serve on the fourth line against Boston on Saturday.

Ward scored twice and added an assist in AHL Ontario's 6-5 overtime win over Coachella Valley on Friday.
Ward is likely on the cusp of the NHL, but he'll have to bide his time in Ontario. He had 21 points in 32 regular-season games for the Reign last year while also logging seven points over 36 regular-season outings for the Kings. If the 28-year-old gets a call-up, he'll likely fill a bottom-six role.

Ward was moved to the waiver wire Saturday, according to Zach Dooley of the Kings' official site.
Ward provided three goals, seven points, 38 shots on net and 38 hits in 36 appearances with the Kings during the 2025-26 regular season. If he goes unclaimed, he could log NHL action for Los Angeles again at some point in the 2026-27 campaign.

Ward tallied a goal, put two shots on net and recorded two hits in Saturday's 6-4 loss to New Jersey.
Ward recorded the third goal of the second period for Los Angeles to take a 3-2 lead through 32 minutes. The twine finder brought him up to three goals, six points, 31 shots on net and 26 hits across 24 games this season. Since his Jan. 7 call-up, Ward has played well in a fourth-line role.
