Watson, standing 6-4 and weighing 210 pounds, joined training camp on a tryout basis. He showed his commitment to protecting his teammates during Friday’s 4-3 preseason overtime loss to Ottawa, where he confronted Jan Jenik while he was engaged with Moritz Seider in front of the net.
The 32-year-old Ann Arbor native played for the Tampa Bay Lightning last season, recording two goals and two assists in 33 games.
