Hurricanes Recall Zach Boychuk from Albany

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...

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Lost in all the gloom and dejection of the Canes' 3-2 loss Friday to the Maple Leafs was that Zach Boychuk made his NHL debut this season and played well. Let's just say the winger, called up Friday from Albany (AHL), played well enough to make coach Paul Maurice more than comfortable with what he saw on the ice. "What you're hoping for, on a team struggling...

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. ...

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...

RALEIGH -- Brandon Sutter's third goal in four games and a Sergei Samsonov rebound have the Carolina Hurricanes in front of Toronto Maple Leafs, 2-1 with 15 minutes left in the second period. The Canes, winless in the past 10 games, haven't won since Oct. 9, a 7-2 outburst against the Florida Panthers. They've lost four straight, getting out-scored 19-4 but came...

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€...

The Hurricanes, winless in their last 10 games, are 30th in the NHL standings and the Toronto Maple Leafs 29th. So what kind of game will it be tonight at the RBC Center? "9-8 tonight -- that's the prediction," Canes coach Paul Maurice said today after the morning skate. "They're trying to manufacture their goals the same way we are -- get as many pucks...

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...

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...

Florida goalie Tomas Vokoun simply wouldn't let the Carolina Hurricanes end their losing streak. He made 32 saves, including 21 in the first period, for his second straight shutout.

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. The 2008 first round (14th overall) selection of Carolina has yet to regi...
