Playing career

Amateur

Born in

2003 NHL Entry Draft by the Florida Panthers
.

Following his draft, he joined the

alternate captain for the Big Green,[5] going on to score a college career-high 12 goals and 28 points over 33 games. Glass made his second appearance in the ECAC's third-place game, winning 3–2 against Colgate.[4] Captaining the team as a senior in 2006–07,[3] Glass matched his career-high 28 points and helped Dartmouth to the third-place game once more. He finished his college career losing to the St. Lawrence Saints.[4]

Florida Panthers

Still unsigned by the Panthers at the end of his college career, Glass received an amateur tryout contract from Florida's

alternate captain for the Americans.[6] After appearing in 44 AHL games (4 goals and 13 points) and 3 NHL games (no points), he sustained a season-ending injury on February 7, 2009.[6]
Glass did not receive a qualifying offer from the Panthers for the following season.

Vancouver Canucks

Glass became an

unrestricted free agent in the off-season. On the first day of free agency, he was signed by the Vancouver Canucks to a one-year, two-way deal worth the league-minimum $500,000 at the NHL level.[7][9]

With early injuries to Canucks forwards during training camp, Glass made the line-up for the start of the season as the thirteenth forward.[10] He scored his first goal with the Canucks on November 1, 2009, in a 3–0 win against the Colorado Avalanche.[11] He recorded 11 points over 67 games in 2009–10. In the off-season, Glass filed for arbitration, looking for a one-way contract to ensure an NHL salary.[9] He was re-signed on July 12, 2010, to a one-year contract worth $625,000.[12]

Until suffering an upper-body injury during practice in early March 2011, Glass was the lone staple on the Canucks' fourth line, playing with a rotation of wingers and centres.[13] Glass missed nine games with the injury, returning in early April.[7] He finished the regular season with 3 goals and 10 points over 73 games, helping the Canucks win the Presidents' Trophy as the team with the league's best record. With the top seed in the Western Conference, the Canucks eliminated the Chicago Blackhawks, Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks en route to the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals, where they lost in seven games to the Boston Bruins. Over 20 post-season games, Glass recorded no points and 18 penalty minutes.

Set to become an

On July 1, 2011, he agreed to a one-year contract worth $750,000 with the Winnipeg Jets.[15] Playing on the Jets' third line with Jim Slater and Chris Thorburn, Glass set career highs in goals, assists and points in his first and only season with Winnipeg, earning a total of 16 points.[16]

Pittsburgh Penguins

The Jets did not re-sign Glass, and on July 1, 2012, he signed a 2-year contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins, worth $1.1 million per year.[17] During the 2012–13 NHL lockout, Glass played in the Slovak Extraliga for Banská Bystrica.[18] In 6 games for the Slovakian club, he tallied one assist. Once the NHL season finally began, he played in 48 games, scoring 2 points.

On November 23, 2013, in a match against the

P.K. Subban.[19] He was placed on the injured reserve for 33 days before returning to the ice on December 27 against the Carolina Hurricanes.[20] On January 26, 2014, Glass registered 13 of the Penguins' 36 total hits in a loss to the Dallas Stars.[19][21]

New York Rangers

On July 1, 2014, Glass signed as a free agent with the New York Rangers on a three-year contract worth $1.45 million per year.[22][23]

Glass underwhelmed in 2014-15, with 6 points in 66 games, and after a poor start to the 2015-16 season, Glass was put on waivers and assigned to the Hartford Wolf Pack.[24] Glass was then recalled by the Rangers on December 14 after Jarret Stoll was waived.[25]

2017–18 season with the Flames, his 11th in the NHL, Glass as a free agent opted to sign abroad by agreeing to a one-year contract with French club, Boxers de Bordeaux of the Ligue Magnus on August 31, 2018.[28] On June 13, 2019, the club announced his retirement from playing professional hockey.[29]

Playing style

Glass has established himself as primarily a fourth-line forward in the NHL.[3][16] His work ethic makes him effective at blocking shots. A physical and aggressive player, he is also known to be a capable fighter.[3] He has also been recognized as a leader on his teams, serving as an alternate captain with Rochester in the AHL,[6] as well as a captain with Dartmouth during his college career.[3]
