Finishing the year as the worst team in the Metropolitan division, the New Jersey Devils underwent a season to forget, and so did several of their players. Right-handed defenseman Connor Carrick is certainly included in this specific group.
The 26-year-old played just 29 games and was below-average when he was given ice time.
Carrick has already played for a number of teams. Most recently, he was traded to New Jersey from the Dallas Stars prior to the 2019 trade deadline. The Devils then re-signed him to a two-year deal last July.
Carrick has had issues in regards to staying healthy (he’s played just 63 games over the last three years combined) and this campaign was no different.
