Hurricanes claim Ty Rattie off waivers

The Carolina Hurricanes have claimed forward Ty Rattie off waivers from the St. Louis Blues.

"We feel that Ty has a high skill level and we believe that he can help improve our team," general manager Ron Francis said.

Rattie was selected 32nd overall by the Blues in 2011, and has bounced between the Blues and the AHL's Chicago Wolves over the past four seasons.

He has appeared in 30 NHL games, with four goals and four assists to his credit.
