Calgary Flames sign depth defenceman to two-way contract

His resume is highlighted by a 16-game stint with the San Jose Sharks in 2022-23. He was credited with four assists, 28 hits and 21 blocked shots, although he was a minus-7. He also scrapped with Mark Kastelic, then of the Ottawa Senators.
At the minor-league level, Cicek once tussled with current Flames forward Martin Pospisil.
'He does play hard,' Pascall said of this new addition. 'He's a big, long, strong defender who skates well, but he also finishes his hits. He's not afraid to play with some grit to his game.'
If Cicek does earn a look with the Flames, he'll collect a cap-hit of US$775,000 at the NHL level.
