Tanner Pearson (born August 10, 1992) is a Canadian ice hockey player. He is currently playing with the Los Angeles Kings of the National Hockey League (NHL). Pearson was drafted 30th overall in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft by the Kings.

Playing career

He played for Canada at the 2012 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, where he was a part of the bronze medal winning team.[1]

In August 3, 2012, Pearson signed a three-year entry-level contract with the Los Angeles Kings.

In 2013, the Kings recalled Pearson after completion of his first professional season with affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs of the American Hockey League, to be one of their "black aces" on their taxi squad during the Stanley Cup playoffs.[2] On May 18, 2013, he played right wing on the Kings fourth line in his first NHL game in a playoff game against the San Jose Sharks.[3] On December 3, 2013, Pearson was sent back down to Manchester.[4] On June 13, 2014 Pearson helped lead the Kings to a Stanley Cup victory over the New York Rangers

In the 2014-15 NHL Season, Pearson played a majority of the season with Jeff Carter and Tyler Toffoli, with the line being dubbed "That 70s Line" since all three had numbers in the 70s.
