Playing career

As a youth, Shore played in the 2005 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Littleton, Colorado.[1]

Following the 2010–11 season with the University of Denver, Shore was selected in the third-round, 82nd overall by the Los Angeles Kings during the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Shore remained at Denver for two more seasons.

On April 13, 2013, the Kings signed Shore to a three-year, entry-level contract.[2] He spent the 2013–14 season with the Kings' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Manchester Monarchs. In his first professional season, Shore recorded 14 goals and 24 assists in 68 games.

Shore made his NHL debut on January 17, 2015, against the Anaheim Ducks.[3] He scored his first NHL goal on March 26, 2015, in a 3–2 win over the New York Islanders.[4]

On July 16, 2015, the Kings signed Shore to a two-year, $1.2 million contract extension.[5] Shore's first full season with the Kings came in 2015–16, where he scored three goals in 68 games.

On July 6, 2017, the Kings signed Shore to a one-year, $925,000 contract extension.[6]

On February 13, 2018, Shore was traded to the Ottawa Senators along with Marián Gáborík in exchange for Dion Phaneuf and Nate Thompson.[7] Shore appeared in six games with the Senators, registering one assist, before he was traded at the trade deadline to the Calgary Flames in exchange for a seventh-round pick in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft on February 26, 2018.[8] At the conclusion of the season, Shore was not tendered a qualifying offer and was released to free agency.[9]

On October 12, 2018, Shore signed a one-year contract with Metallurg Magnitogorsk of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).[10] In the 2018–19 season, Shore collected 13 assists and 16 points in 37 games with Metallurg in a third-line center role.

On July 24, 2019, Shore returned to the NHL as a free agent, signing a one-year $750,000 contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs.[11] Making the Maple Leafs opening roster for the 2019–20 season, Shore made 21 appearances in a fourth-line role, registering 3 points, before he was claimed by the Winnipeg Jets after being placed on waivers by the Maple Leafs on December 4, 2019.[12]

Personal life

All three of Shore's brothers play hockey, two of them professionally. Drew is a forward for the ZSC Lions of the National League,[13] Quentin plays for the Indy Fuel of the ECHL,[14] and Baker is a member of Harvard University.[15] Nick, Drew and Quentin all attended the University of Denver.
