Calgary Flames acquires goaltender Eddie Lack in trade with Carolina Hurricanes

CALGARY — Goalie Eddie Lack and defenceman Ryan Murphy were acquired by the Calgary Flames on Thursday night in a trade with the Carolina Hurricanes.

Calgary also gets a seventh round draft pick in the 2019 NHL draft.

Defenceman Keegan Kanzig and a sixth round draft pick in 2019 were sent to Carolina in return.

The Hurricanes will retain 50 per cent of Lack's salary.

Lack, a native of Norrtalje, Sweden, spent the 2016-17 season in Carolina where he picked up eight wins in 19 games along with a .902 save percentage and a 2.64 goals-against average.

The 29-year old has played four seasons in the NHL accumulating a 54-51 record in 136 games with a .911 save percentage and a 2.56 GAA.

Murphy has six goals and 31 assists in 151 games over five seasons.

Kanzig has yet to play in the NHL. He had two assists in six games with the American Hockey League's Stockton Heat this season, with a goal and four assists for the ECHL's Adirondack Thunder in 40 games.
