The Canes will start Michael Leighton in goal, giving him his first start of the season. Leighton became a father for the second time early Friday morning when his wife, Jennifer, gave birth to a daughter. Leighton has not played since Oct. 3, when he came in for Cam Ward and was in for the last 29 minutes of the Canes' 7-2 loss. That was his only appearance as Ward started the first 11 games of the season.

Maurice stands by decision on Leighton

Via Lord Stanley's Blog  |  October 31, 2009
PHILADELPHIA — It was easy to second-guess the decision, before and after the fact. Canes goaltender Michael Leighton had played in just one game this season and that was Oct. 3, in relief of Cam Ward. His wife, Jennifer, gave birth early Friday morning to a baby daughter. He missed practice Friday and took a commercial flight to Philadelphia Friday evening. A year ago, Leighton...

Flyers 6, Canes 1

Michael Leighton made his first start of the season Saturday for the Carolina Hurricanes, which seemed a curious move. Leighton was up into the wee hours of Friday morning as his wife, Jennifer, gave birth to a baby daughter. There was little rest time and even less preparation time for the Canes' backup goaltender. Leighton, perhaps understandably, wasn't very sharp...

What’s Wrong With Carolina?

Via Kuklas Korner  |  November 01, 2009
from Luke DeCock of the News & Observer, In the winter of 2003, after a dismal six-goal loss to the Los Angeles Kings, the Carolina Hurricanes reached the inevitable conclusion that no matter how hard anyone tried or what anyone did, their season was only getting worse. And it proceeded to get worse, all the way to last place. Is it possible the Hurricanes have reached...

Hurricanes Struggle

Via Kuklas Korner  |  November 01, 2009
After making the semi-finals in the 2009 playoffs, it appeared that the Carolina Hurricanes would have a strong 2009/10 season.  So far that hasn’t been the case.  The Hurricanes had a solid start winning two of their first four games, including a 7-2 victory over the Florida Panthers, but they haven’t won any games since.  This gives Carolina a league leading...

Quick hit. Whitney... By days end this will likely be an e4. just waiting on a callback. More to come on what could be coming back... Biron.... Marty Biron may very well be the solution the Red Wings are looking for. Talking to a scout today, it is definitely possible. Price... I am also talking to a Carey Price source.

PREVIEW The inconsistent Flyers (5-4-1) return home today for a Halloween matinee against the disappointing Carolina Hurricanes (2-6-3). Philadelphia shut out Carolina on opening night, but after a 3-0 start, have been an underachieving team. Up front, in the absence of Simon Gagne (hernias) and Daniel Briere (groin pull), the team will need youngsters Claude Giroux and James...
