Undrafted 3rd year goaltender Doug Carr(31) signs for 2016/2017 with Wheeling Nailers, who he watched make it all the way to the Kelly Cup Finals last season.
He started his sophomore campaign on a pto with Albany Devils and stay with them for the first pair of months before signing to play out the campaign with Manchester Monarchs.
The 6’1″ 195 lbs. net minder appeared career high 24 ECHL games posting a 10-8-5 record with a 2.77 GAA and .915 SV%, then played his first four postseason matchups but saw his team drop a tough battle in the opening round.
He was also loaned back up twice but only served as back-up.
The four year UMass-Lowell graduate had some pretty exciting college hockey winning the 2013 NCAA (Hockey East) Champion, following that season up with a 1.80 GAA and .935 SV% before signing an ato with Abbotsford Heat and continuing his outstanding play through 4 AHL games.
For his rookie season he would sign a minor league deal with Adirondack Flames but first attend Calgary Flames‘ training camp.
He played only 13 games with the farm club spending the majority of his playing time with affiliate Colorado Eagles.
The 27-year old should assume the starting role duties with his new team and could see a spike in stats with more minutes in the cage.
