Playing career

Welsh signed a one-year entry level contract with the Hurricanes on April 5, 2012[1] and played in his first NHL game two days later against the Florida Panthers.[2] Prior to the start of the 2013–14 season Welsh was traded, along with Zac Dalpe, to the Canucks in exchange for Kellan Tochkin and a fourth round selection in the 2014 NHL Draft.[3]

Welsh scored his first NHL goal with the Canucks on November 22, 2013 against Sergei Bobrovsky of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

On July 21, 2014, Welsh signed a one-year, two-way deal as a free agent with the St. Louis Blues.[4]

After two seasons within the Blues organization, Welsh left to sign his first contract abroad, agreeing to a one-year deal with new German DEL entrant, the Fischtown Pinguins on September 1, 2016.[5]
