Cory Conacher is lighting up the AHL. He joined the Crunch on October 18th after starting the season on the Lightning roster. In just thirteen games in Syracuse, he has taken over as the leading scorer in the AHL.
The Lightning placed Conacher on waivers on October 17th with the intention of sending him back to the Crunch. Just a few hours later, the team announced that they’d agreed to a one-year contract extension with the winger. The deal is one-way meaning that he will earn the same amount of money whether he is in the NHL or the AHL.
