COLUMBUS-- The Montreal Canadiens acquired a 7th round pick (192nd overall) in this year's NHL entry draft from the Carolina Hurricanes for goaltender Michael Leighton.
Leighton was acquired last season at the trading deadline by the Canadiens.
His acquisition was a bare "depht" move, after Cristobal Huet injured himself and was sidelined for the remainder of the season.
Leighton will compete with John Grahame during this year's pre-season for the Hurricanes' backup goalie spot.
This is Leighton's 5th team in the last past year, after signing a one-year contract with the Anaheim Ducks.
He then was claimed off waivers by the Predators, and then by the Flyers.
He was later dealt to the Canadiens.
