On Monday, the Tampa Bay Lightning added some defensive depth to their organization as they signed veteran defender Trevor Carrick to a one-year/two-way deal. It’s likely that the left-shot defenseman will spend most of the season with the Syracuse Crunch, but also provide a valid call-up option in case of injury to the Lightning blueline.
Carrick has appeared in seven NHL games over his career, four with the Carolina Hurricanes and three with the San Jose Sharks. He’s yet to record a point at the NHL level, but does have 246 points (61 goals, 185 assists) in 495 career AHL games.
