On Episode 3 of Crunch Chronicles Lukas Favale is joined by Carter Verhaeghe. Verhaeghe played two seasons for the Syracuse Crunch in 2017-18 and 2018-19 after he was acquired by the Tampa Bay Lightning in a trade during the summer of 2017. After forcing his way into the lineup a few weeks in the season, Verhaeghe ended up second on the Crunch with 48 points over 58 games in 2017-18. He followed that with a franchise-record 82 points in 2018-19 to lead the Crunch to the North Division title. He became the first Crunch player to win the John B. Sollenberger Trophy as the AHL's top scorer and he also shared the Willie Marshall Award with teammate Alex Barre-Boulet as they led the AHL with 34 goals apiece.
 
After spending two seasons in Syracuse, Verhaeghe earned his spot on the Lightning at the start of the 2019-20 season. He played in 52 games and added 13 points during the regular season before adding two assists during the Lightning's run to the Stanley Cup. He joined the Florida Panthers ahead of the 2020-21 season and posted 36 points in 43 games, leading to a three-year contract extension during the offseason.   
 
On the show, Verhaeghe discusses how his career blossomed in Syracuse, winning a Stanley Cup with the Lightning and what the future looks like with the Florida Panthers.
