Brock (20) was the 45th pick in the 2020 NHL Draft selected by Los Angeles Kings. He was traded with a draft pick to Minnesota for Kevin Fiala last summer.
The new player will join his team immediately and be part of the group that will make a trip to face the Chicago Blackhawks on Monday.
The defenceman was part of the NCAA last year and played for the University of Minnesota. Faber scored 4 goals and finished with 27 points in 38 matches as he also helped his team to reach the National Championship match. However, Brock lost the final on Saturday 3-2 after overtime.
Brock was part of the NCAA for 3 seasons, notched 7 goals, and got 49 points during that period in 97 matches.
