In 1991, Eastwood made the jump to pro hockey. He did not become an NHL regular though until 2 years later.

In 1995, Eastwood was traded to the Winnipeg Jets for Tie Domi. This started a trend for Eastwood as he would then go on to play for many different teams.

He formerly co-hosted Ottawa Senators post-game shows with Scott MacArthur, and has appeared in radio commercials for restaurants in the Ottawa area. He currently serves as an Assistant Coach for the Ottawa 67's in the Ontario Hockey League.
