Trevor Lewis

Injury Notes: Caufield, Stützle, Tanev

December 12, 2022 at 8:43 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 1 Comment

After exiting tonight’s game early in the second period with an upper-body injury, Montreal Canadiens star sniper Cole Caufield will not return, according to the team. He was hit hard in front of the Canadiens’ net by Flames forward Trevor Lewis and reached for his head after the collision.

Caufield and Nick Suzuki’s chemistry have been instrumental in helping the Habs hover around the .500 mark this far into the regular season. Caufield’s 16 goals lead the team, and his 25 points in 27 games are second behind Suzuki’s 29. Any long-term absence from their top goal-scorer will be extremely difficult to overcome.

  • Another Canadian team also lost an important young forward tonight. Ottawa Senators center Tim Stützle left their game against the Anaheim Ducks and did not return after sustaining an upper-body injury in the first frame, per the team. He was checked by Ducks forward Brett Leason, who was given an interference penalty on the play. Stützle’s 27 points are second on the team, and they’re already without their other top center in Josh Norris.
  • For Calgary, they lost defenseman Chris Tanev after taking a puck to the face. The veteran stayed down on the ice after the impact but didn’t require a stretcher and was helped off the ice by teammates. If Tanev is to miss time, Calgary will need to recall another defenseman with MacKenzie Weegar battling an illness.

Calgary Flames Re-Sign Trevor Lewis

July 13, 2022 at 3:45 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 1 Comment

The Calgary Flames have re-signed a forward but it isn’t the one that fans want. General manager Brad Treliving confirmed to Salim Nadim Valji of TSN that Trevor Lewis will be back next season. Treliving added that the team is signing goaltender Oscar Dansk and re-signing Nick DeSimone. Chris Johnston of TSN reports that Dansk will be signing a one-year, two-way deal worth $750K at the NHL level and $300K in the minor leagues.

Lewis spent his first season in Calgary last year, notching six goals, 10 assists, and 16 points in 80 games. Although limited to a fourth-line role, the veteran of 810 NHL games is a favorite of head coach Darryl Sutter from his time in Los Angeles. He’ll likely reprise the same role as a fourth-line center/right wing as the Flames try to navigate post-Johnny Gaudreau life. At this point in his career, he’s purely a defensive specialist, but he does provide legitimate value in that regard.

Dansk, of Vegas Golden Knights lore, joins the Flames after a solid season in the KHL with Spartak Moscow, where he managed a .910 save percentage and 6-6-1 record. With a long track record of AHL success prior to that with the Chicago Wolves, Dansk gives the new AHL team in Calgary a strong one-two punch in net with top prospect Dustin Wolf.

DeSimone, while maybe not high on the organization’s list of potential call-ups, was a minute-muncher for Stockton last season. He’ll move with the organization up to Calgary and continue to play an important role in developing younger Calgary defensemen in the organization.

Trevor Lewis Signs With Calgary Flames

July 28, 2021 at 2:17 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 3 Comments

The Calgary Flames have signed Trevor Lewis to a one-year, $800K contract according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet. The veteran forward will be reunited with head coach Darryl Sutter, with whom he won two Stanley Cup championships during their time in Los Angeles.

If it wasn’t a Sutter roster before, the Flames are focused on making it one, acquiring bottom-six names like Lewis, Tyler Pitlick, and Blake Coleman in recent days. Even if Lewis isn’t the twenty-something that won those championships, he showed for the Winnipeg Jets last season that he can still be effective in a limited role. Though he scored just five goals and ten points, he happily welcomed tough defensive minutes and logged more penalty-killing time than all but two Jets forwards.

In the system that Sutter became famous for, the fourth-line isn’t there to contribute offensively. They slow the game down to a crawl and make sure nothing dangerous happens at either end. That’s all Lewis will be asked to do again in Calgary, and it’s a job he has done quite well over the years. Now that he’s 34 he might not be in the lineup for all 82 games, but for $800K it poses basically no risk to bring him aboard.

Trevor Lewis Signs With Winnipeg Jets

January 13, 2021 at 3:10 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 1 Comment

3:10pm: Lewis has officially agreed to terms on a one-year deal that will carry a salary of $750K.

12:45pm: Attending training camp on a professional tryout has proven successful for another veteran player. When speaking with reporters including Murat Ates of The Athletic, Winnipeg Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff confirmed that the team will be announcing a contract for Trevor Lewis, once they can move Bryan Little to long-term injured reserve later today. Lewis had been in camp on a PTO but almost immediately seemed to secure a roster spot with his versatility and hard work.

Now 34, it was surprising to see Lewis even have to agree to a tryout after a decade in the NHL. His game has never been about lighting up the score sheet with points, but instead providing capable defense and support to his flashier linemates. In parts of 12 seasons with the Los Angeles Kings, he recorded more than 20 points on just three occasions and had just 12 in 56 games last season.

He’ll fit into the Jets bottom-six as a player who can line up just about anywhere. Bringing two Stanley Cup rings and plenty of leadership he’ll be a welcome addition in a year where every team will be facing the same opponents on a regular basis. Lewis isn’t expected to earn much more than the league minimum on a one-year deal, though those details have not been officially announced just yet.

Trevor Lewis Signs PTO With Winnipeg Jets

January 1, 2021 at 10:46 am CDT | by Gavin Lee 1 Comment

The Winnipeg Jets have released their training camp roster and among the players are a trio of professional tryouts. The most notable of these is veteran forward Trevor Lewis, who has to this point played his entire 674-game career with the Los Angeles Kings. Cole Kehler and Jimmy Oligny will also attend camp on PTOs.

The 33-year-old Lewis has always been an interesting player for the Kings. Though his best offensive season was still limited to 14 goals and 26 points, he has been an integral part of two Stanley Cup-winning teams with his versatility and defensive ability. Even with those paltry scoring totals, this isn’t a player who was limited to the fourth line or given only a handful of minutes each night. On the contrary, Lewis lined up beside all kinds of different teammates over the years, moving up and down the roster doing whatever was asked.

That is of course until last season when his playing time was drastically cut, even losing his leading role on the penalty kill for much of the year. Now in Winnipeg, he’ll have to try and show why the Kings coaching staff felt so comfortable throwing him over the boards for the last decade. Where he would fit in the Jets lineup certainly isn’t clear, but if there’s anything left to give, you know the savvy veteran will bring his best.

Kehler, 23, played most of last season with the Fort Wayne Komets but actually did spend eight minutes in the Ontario Reign net. The former WHL goaltender was an undrafted free agent signing when he inked an entry-level deal in 2017, but was not issued a qualifying offer from the Kings at the end of last season. He’ll try his luck with the Jets organization this time, trying to catch a new contract and keep his professional career moving forward.

Oligny, 27, has been playing with the Manitoba Moose for the last two seasons and is likely headed back there this year when things open up in the AHL. His presence at Jets camp is likely just to fill out the defensive ranks, though perhaps if he performs well enough he could land an NHL two-way deal.

Trevor Lewis To Test Free Agency

September 26, 2020 at 1:59 pm CDT | by Brian La Rose 1 Comment

Trevor Lewis has been a part of the Kings organization since they drafted him in the first round (17th overall) back in 2006.  However, his time with Los Angeles has come to an end as he told David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period (Twitter link) that he will not be re-signing with them when the free agent period opens up next month.  He briefly commented on his pending departure:

It’s definitely different, a little tough to think about. I grew up here, been here my whole career. It’ll be different, but I’m excited. Change is always good. I’m excited to see what happens.

The 33-year-old has been a versatile veteran throughout his 12-year NHL career, played almost exclusively in a bottom-six role.  However, his offensive production has tapered off considerably as he has managed just a dozen points in each of the last two seasons while battling some injuries along the way.

Nevertheless, as someone that can kill penalties and play all three forward positions, there should be a decent market for his services come October 9th.  However, he’ll likely have to take a pay cut from the $2MM he has made in each of the last four seasons as most contenders – and Pagnotta adds in a separate tweet that Lewis is looking to go to one – won’t have that type of money to commit to someone that is likely best suited to play 10-12 minutes per game on the fourth line.

With 674 regular season games and another 79 in the playoffs, the Kings got a reasonable return out of their selection of Lewis even though he never really managed to develop a consistent offensive game.  However, his time with Los Angeles has come to an end.
