Heat signed Russ Sinkewich to a professional try-out contract. Seems like a temporary move though to insure the team has 6 defensemen and isn't shorthanded on the back end. Martin is out till after the Christmas and with Carson's conditioning stint over the Heat were left shorthanded.
I wonder if the Flames send Piskula back down to help, especially if he's just going to be in the press box now with Carson back.
