After appearing in last night’s win in Edmonton, the Carolina Hurricanes have assigned defenseman Trevor Carrick to Charlotte.

Carrick went scoreless in his lone appearance with the Canes, which was his third career NHL game. The blue liner returns to the Checkers having picked up a pair of assists in three contests this season with Charlotte.

Carrick, in his fourth pro season, will join the team as they embark on their first three-in-three of the season, starting Friday in Rochester and then continuing Saturday and Sunday in Toronto.
