CALGARY, Alberta — The Calgary Flames signed right-handed shooting defenseman Tyson Barrie to a one-year, $1.25 million contract Thursday.
The 33-year-old Barrie — a power-play specialist with a 210 career points with the man-advantage — came to training camp on a professional tryout contract.
Barrie had a goal and 14 assists in 41 regular-season games last season for Nashville, his second with the Predators. The 5-foot-11, 197-pounder has 109 goals and 396 assists in 809 games in 13 seasons with Colorado, Toronto, Edmonton and Nashville.
The Flames will conclude the preseason Friday night at home against Winnipeg and open the regular season Wednesday night at Vancouver.
