Hurricanes acquire Versteeg in trade with Blackhawks

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) The Carolina Hurricanes have acquired veteran forward Kris Versteeg in a trade with the Chicago Blackhawks.

The Hurricanes sent defensemen Dennis Robertson and Jake Massie and a fifth-round pick in the 2017 draft to the Stanley Cup champion Blackhawks for Versteeg, forward Joakim Nordstrom and a third-round selection in the 2017 draft.

The 29-year-old Versteeg had 14 goals and 20 assists in 61 games last season. He also helped Chicago win the NHL title in 2010, but the Blackhawks were looking to free up cap space to sign restricted free-agent center Marcus Kruger before the season.

The deal was announced on Friday.
