Reilly Walsh (born April 21, 1999) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman currently playing for the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Walsh was drafted by the New Jersey Devils in the third round (81st overall) of the 2017 NHL Entry Draft. On August 10, 2020, he signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Devils.[1] Walsh made his NHL debut for the Devils on April 26, 2022, against the Ottawa Senators and recorded his first NHL assist.[2]
In game 2 of the preliminary round of the 2023 Calder Cup playoffs, on his 24th birthday, Walsh scored the game-tying goal against the Laval Rocket with just two seconds left in regulation. Utica went on to win the game in overtime, clinching the series.[3]
Walsh was traded by the Devils to the Boston Bruins in exchange for Shane Bowers on June 26, 2023.[4]
After a lone season within the Bruins organization, Walsh left as a free agent to sign a one-year, two-way contract with the Los Angeles Kings on July 1, 2024.[5]
