Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Joni Pitkanen will return to the ice for Sunday's game against the Ottawa Senators.
Pitkanen, who will be playing in his 500th career NHL game, has been sidelined since Nov. 11 with a lower body injury.
Struggling blue-liner Tomas Kaberle was made a healthy scratch to allow Pitkanen back in the lineup.
The fourth overall pick of the 2002 draft...

It’s decision time on defense for the Hurricanes, and it won’t be an easy one -- for them, anyway. For anyone who has watched this team this season, the choice is simple.
Joni Pitkanen, who has been out for two weeks with a lower-body injury, is close to returning, perhaps as soon as tomorrow’s game at the Ottawa Senators. When he does, someone is going to have to come out...

This is coming a few days late because of Thanksgiving throwing off my schedule but I wanted to get the chances posted for this game and I have a few things I want to discuss, too.
There are some who say that the two goal lead is the most dangerous in hockey because it's when teams begin to settle back and play conservative instead of building on a lead. That's what happened...

Back in October, I defended the Hurricanes powerplay because while they were not scoring, they were at least getting chances on net and were in the top 10 in the league when it came to generating shots 5-on-4.
