Carolina's emergency signing of Manny Legace to fill in while Cam Ward is out is interesting on a number of levels. Sure, it's easy to look at a goalie who couldn't make Atlanta's roster and scoff, but he's also a veteran with tons of experience.

Cam Ward was involved in a scary incident this weekend. The Hurricanes’ goalie made a save before being injured on a seemingly harmless play. It turned out to be much more serious than it looked. Ward was keeping tabs on his own goal when Columbus Blue Jackets’ [...]

The Hurricanes come to Nationwide Arena in the midst of an 11 game losing streak. They now have the lowest point total in the NHL due to their last defeat last night to the Maple Leafs 3-2. Zach Boychuk made his season debut last night and will probably be on the 2nd line tonight as the Canes look for an offensive punch.
