Former New Jersey Devils defenseman Connor Carrick is taking his talents overseas. The right-shot blueliner has signed a two-year contract with HC Lugano of the Swiss National League, as announced by the overseas club.

Carrick, 31, played all of this season down in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Bakersfield Condors. In 63 games with the Edmonton Oilers' AHL affiliate, he posted 18 goals, 41 points, 101 penalty minutes, and a plus-5 rating. Overall, it was a strong season in the AHL for the Orland Park, Illinois native, and he will now look to make an impact with HC Lugano from here.
