James Wisniewski's hockey career isn't over yet.
The longtime NHL defenseman has signed a contract with the KHL's Vladivostok Admirals that includes an NHL opt-out clause, TSN's Darren Dreger reports.
The Tampa Bay Lightning invited him to training camp on a pro tryout agreement, but released him before the start of the season.
Wisniewski suffered a torn ACL less than a minute into the 2015-16 season opener with the Carolina Hurricanes.
During his 10-year NHL career, Wisniewski also suited up for the Anaheim Ducks, Montreal Canadiens, New York Islanders, and Chicago Blackhawks, who made him a fifth-round pick in 2002. He recorded a career-high 44 assists and 51 points with the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2013-14.
