SUNRISE, Fla. -- When the Canes pounded the Panthers 7-2 on Oct. 9, who would have believed they would come to Florida on Nov. 4 looking for their next win? No changes in pregame lines or defensive pairs.  Brandon Sutter was the fourth-line center with Stephane Yelle and Tom Kostopoulos. ... Former Cane defenseman Dennis Seidenberg has six assists for the Panthers. That tops Jussi Jokinen's team-high five for the Canes. ... When the Canes beat the Panthers at the RBC Center, 12 players had points. Oddly, Eric Staal wasn't one of them. ... Apparently the Panthers were offering some free tickets online to tonight's game. Well, let's call it 75 cents apiece. That was the Ticketmaster charge per ticket, but the tickets were at no cost. ...

Sutter, Boychuk may be Canes' energy source

Someone else can do the math and the Hurricanes may still be the oldest team in the league, but their average age is dipping. Brandon Sutter, 20, has been in the lineup five games. Zach Boychuk, who turned 20 on Oct. 4, will be in it Friday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Sutter and Boychuk began the season with the Albany River Rats (AHL) after leading the Hurricanes...

Have Canes reached that 'point" yet?

SUNRISE, Fla. -- Canes defenseman Niclas Wallin has been with the teams long enough to go through a lot of highs and lows. A nine-game losing streak qualifies as a low. It also appears injured center Eric Staal might be out two-to-four weeks, not just a few games. Another low. But Wallin said there has been enough talk and video sessions and practice and systems work and morale...

Harrison shipped to Albany

Defenseman Jay Harrison, whom the Carolina Hurricanes picked up in free agency in July, has been reassigned to the Albany River Rats, the team’s AHL affiliate. Harrison, 27, had scored a goal and two assists in 10 games this season with 27 penalty minutes and was -4 while averaging 12:05 of ice time per game. Harrison had been placed on waivers Monday. Harrison, at 6-foot, 4-inches...

Staal to miss at least three games

Eric Staal has been a constant in the Carolina lineup for all but one game of his career, but he's going to miss at least the next three games. Hurricanes coach Paul Maurice described the "upper body" injury that knocked Staal out of Sunday's loss as a "week to week" proposition after practice on Tuesday. Staal missed the Hurricanes' game at...

Boychuk called up: Whitney, Ruutu injured

With the possibility that Ray Whitney and Tuomo Ruutu may miss games with upper-body injuries, the Canes are calling up forward Zach Boychuk from the Albany River Rats (AHL). General manager Jim Rutherford said Boychuk probably would be on Jussi Jokinen's line with Erik Cole. Sutter may be on a wing today on Rod Brind'Amour"s line with Sergei Samsonov, he said. ...

Rutherford's free pass for Maurice baffling

You would think that with how awful the Hurricanes have been to start the season, there would be no shortage of blame to go around -- players, management, coaching staff, everyone. So it’s interesting that in general manager Jim Rutherford’s surprisingly critical self-analysis with the N&O’s Chip Alexander on Monday that he second-guessed himself for nearly everythingâ€...

Canes can't win for losing

SUNRISE, Fla. -- When will it end? Friday, against the Toronto Maple Leafs? The next day, at Columbus? Next week? Later in the month? The Hurricanes will win another game at some point, but it's hard to guess when. Or how. For those who may be wondering, the franchise had a 10-game winless streak within a season in 1993-94. From Oct. 16 to Nov. 6, 1993, the Hartford Whalers...
