The Anaheim Ducks added to their defensive core on Friday by acquiring Eric Brewer from the Tampa Bay Lightning for a third round pick in 2015.

The Ducks also announced that defensemen Francois Beauchemin (broken finger) and Clayton Stoner (mumps) have been placed on injured reserve. Beauchemin will be out for four to six weeks.

Brewer, 35, has four assists in 17 games this season with Tampa Bay. He is in the final year of his four-year contract and comes with a cap hit of $3.875 million.
