UPDATE: The Detroit #RedWings today signed center Zach Aston-Reese to a one-year, two-way contract.
Aston-Reese spent last season with the Maple Leafs where he registered a career high in goals.
He is known as a defensive specialist who can pitch in offensively here and there.
He previously had signed a PTO with Carolina but was released from his PTO following the end of the preseason.
Aston-Reese will now look to help the Red Wings compete for a playoff spot and potentially even take the Maple Leafs down if they faceoff in the first round.
