Hurricanes bring back 817-game veteran on a PTO
The Carolina Hurricanes will head into training camp in September with a familiar face being brought back in an attempt to earn a contract for the 2022-23 season.
After spending the 2021-22 season with the Hurricanes, 32-year-old forward Derek Stepan is returning to Raleigh and has signed a PTO with the Canes according to CapFriendly.
Stepan, a native of Hastings (Minnesota), has appeared in 817 career games in the National Hockey League across parts of twelve seasons with the New York Rangers, Arizona Coyotes, Ottawa Senators and the Carolina Hurricanes.
In 58 games last season with Carolina, Stepan had nineteen points (nine goals, ten assists), fourteen penalty minutes and had an even-rating. He went on to appear in three games during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, but failed to record any points as Carolina lost in the second round to the Rangers.
