Grant was signed by the Thrashers to a three-year entry level contract on July 6, 2007.[4]
Lewis made his professional debut in the 2007–08 season with the Thrashers affiliate, the Chicago Wolves of the AHL. He played in 43 games with the Wolves, helping the Wolves capture the Calder Cup. In the 2008–09 season, Lewis was recalled by the Thrashers on March 2, 2009.[5] He made his NHL debut for the Thrashers on March 3, 2009, in a 4–3 loss against the Florida Panthers.[6]
Grant played in 26 games with the Wolves in the 2009–10 season, before he was reassigned, by the Thrashers, to the Hershey Bears on March 10, 2010.[7] Used as a depth defenseman, Grant played in one playoff game with the Bears as they successfully defended the Calder Cup.
On September 1, 2010, Grant was traded prior to the 2010–11 season by the Thrashers to the Nashville Predators for Ian McKenzie.[8]
After the 2010–11 season with the Milwaukee Admirals, Grant left for Europe and experienced a one-year tenure in the Russian Kontinental Hockey League with Lev Poprad.
