Edmonton added to its defensive depth on Friday as it signed 26-year-old defender Cam Dineen to a two-year, two-way contract extension. The AHL regular has made one NHL appearance in his career, appearing in 34 games with Arizona in 2021-22. In 2023-24, he had five goals and 25 points in 58 games with Bakersfield (AHL).
Dineen has four goals, 31 assists, 14 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus through 50 games played with the Tucson Roadrunners (AHL) and has been dealt alongside Nick Bjustad (50% salary retained) to Edmonton for a 2023 Third Round Pick and Michael Kesselring.
Dineen suffered an undisclosed injury in Minnesota on Tuesday and will be a game-time decision for Wednesday's game in Dallas. Dineen has picked up seven assists in 32 games this season but is pointless in his last eight games.
Dineen played in three straight games, firing six shots and going minus-3 in 16:24 ATOI. Dineen will be replaced by Kyle Capobianco, who is making his season debut.
