PITTSBURGH, Pa. -- The puck drops for the second annual CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game on Thursday at Consol Energy Center.

Mark Johnson and Joe Mullen, both former members of the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins, will each coach a team. The game will feature two players from Pennsylvania, Philadelphia's Tony DeAngelo (Sarnia Sting, OHL) on defense and Wind Gap native Ed Minney (USNTDP, USHL) in goal. Both players, each considered "B" prospects on NHL Central Scouting's preliminary players to watch list, will star for Team Mullen.

The Washington Capitals on Monday signed defenseman Connor Carrick to a three-year, entry-level contract.

Carrick, a 2012 fifth-round pick (No. 137) had 12 goals and 32 assists in 68 games with the Plymouth Whalers of the Ontario Hockey League last season. The 5-foot-11, 185-pounder also had 18 points in 15 OHL playoff games.

The Edmonton Oilers on Monday claimed wing Steve MacIntyre off waivers from the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The 33-year-old MacIntyre has had two previous stints with the team. He broke into the NHL with the Oilers as an undrafted free agent in 2008-09. After splitting the following season with the Oilers and Florida Panthers, he returned to Edmonton in 2010-11 and played a career-high 34 games.

The Carolina Hurricanes on Monday assigned six players to the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League.

Forwards Nicolas Blanchard, Zach Boychuk, Aaron Palushaj and Jared Staal, defenseman Michal Jordan and goaltender Justin Peters will join Charlotte's training camp which opened Monday at Extreme Ice Center in Indian Trail, NC.

The Nashville Predators on Monday assigned six players to their American Hockey League affiliate, the Milwaukee Admirals, including forwards Patrick Cehlin, Joonas Rask, Miikka Salomaki, Colton Sissons and Austin Watson and defenseman Joonas Jarvinen.

The Predators now have 27 players remaining on their training camp roster.

The St. Louis Blues on Monday signed veteran forward Brenden Morrow to a one-year contract. Terms of the deal were not released, but the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported it to be valued at $1.5 million.

Morrow was an unrestricted free agent after finishing last season with the Pittsburgh Penguins. He spent the first 12-plus seasons of his career with the Dallas Stars and was the captain from 2006 until he was traded to Pittsburgh in March.

In St. Louis, Morrow will be reunited with his former coach and general manager from Dallas.

The Phoenix Coyotes announced Sunday that they’ve assigned five players to the Portland Pirates, the club's American Hockey League affiliate.

The players assigned to Portland are defensemen Brandon Gormley and Connor Murphy, forward Brendan Shinnimin and goaltenders Mike Lee and Mark Visentin.

Defenseman Cody Franson remains without a contract from the Toronto Maple Leafs and said Friday he might have to consider playing in Europe.

"I honestly didn't believe it would come to this," Franson, a restricted free agent, told Sportsnet.

Franson said he could return to Sweden, where he played 26 games for Brynas prior to the 2012-13 NHL season.

"It's definitely something I might have to consider," Franson said after another skate with the Ryerson Rams. "Hopefully it doesn't come to that, but I was in Sweden last year, and it's not like I haven't been over there before. If it comes down to that, unfortunately, hopefully not, it's an option."
