Prospects sometimes become a bit of an afterthought when the NHL season gets rolling, but don't think we have forgot about them, as there is still a lot to report on regarding those in Carolina's system. This week wasn't as eventful as the last, but there were a couple big standouts. The most notable one was clearly Phil Di Giuseppe who had five points in two games with the Michigan Wolverines this weekend. We'll talk about him more along with the other NCAA kids but first, let's take a look at what the Hurricanes CHL prospects did this past week.

Hurricanes recall Tim Wallace, assign Zac Dalpe to Charlotte

The Hurricanes made a surprising move today by deciding to send down forward Zac Dalpe to the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League and recall Tim Wallace. Dalpe had two points in six games and is the only forward on the team who can go to the AHL without needing waivers, so he was sent down in favor of Tim Wallace who could possibly add some grit to the team. Wallace...

Hurricanes looking sharp after poor start

Some teams were bound to have hiccups with the abbreviated NHL season starting after only one week of training camp. In the case of the Carolina Hurricanes, they might have been holding their breath to try to find a cure for what ailed them after their first two games. They lost that pair of games by a combined 9-2 score and while that might have given them cause for despair, the...

Jeff Skinner had three assists, Patrick Dwyer added a goal and an assist, and Justin Faulk also scored for Carolina. Cam Ward backed up the offense with a 41-save performance.

Matt Karash: Fantasy Hockey Review: Carolina Hurricanes

I get a decent number of emails and Hockeybuzz messages with fantasy hockey related questions. How does the power play look? What are chances of ____ moving up to Staal line? Etc. So with a couple days between Canes games, I figured I would take a shot at evaluating Canes players for fantasy hockey leaguers. Cam Ward. He was off to an atrocious start heading into Monday...

About Last Night…Cam Ward Finally Gets Win #2

Carolina goaltender Cam Ward finally got his second win of the season. It took a 41-save effort to hold the Toronto Maple Leafs at bay in a 4-1 but he got another win. Jordan Staal and Eric Staal each scored for Carolina and Jeff Skinner pitched in with three assists in the win. Carolina improved to 4-4 while Toronto dropped below .500 to 4-5-0. Matt Frattin scored the lone goal...

Matt Karash: Gm #8 @Tor: Back to breakeven

The Carolina Hurricanes climbed back to .500 at 4-4 with a solid win in Toronto on Monday night. The first period looked a bit too much like recent losses for comfort, but all is well that ends well. And end well it did after the Canes were the better team for the 2nd and 3rd periods. A few random notes: --Cam Ward. On the right track. He was great all night on first shots...

Sportsnet Ontario gets creative with the score in the Carolina / Toronto game

Sportsnet Ontario flexed their creative muscle during the Carolina Hurricanes / Toronto Maple Leafs game on Monday night. Midway through the second period, Carolina led the Maple Leafs by a score of 2-1 thanks to goals from Jordan Staal and his brother Eric.  As the station prepared to go to break (or returned from break, we're not sure), they opted to run a slightly modified...

Game 7 Scoring Chances: Hurricanes at Flyers

Once again, the Hurricanes were involved in a game where they were playing from behind and ended up having a huge lead in shots and scoring chances partially because of it. Don't get me wrong, Carolina having an advantage in shots and scoring chances for yet another game is a good thing in the long-run, but it's still very early in the year and I'm not sure how much stock...

Game 8 Scoring Chances: Hurricanes at Maple Leafs

The Hurricanes have been a pretty decent team at even strength so far this year but their underlying numbers are skewed heavily due to the fact that they have been forced to play from behind in all but two of their games. This is partially the reason why they have outchanced their opponents in every game this year and why most of their players have very positive underlying numbers...

Hurricanes 4, Maple Leafs 1

TORONTO -- Jordan and Eric Staal, Justin Faulk and Patrick Dwyer scored as the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Toronto Maple Leafs 4-1 on Monday before a crowd of 19,073 at Air Canada Centre. Matt Frattin scored for the Maple Leafs, who took a 1-0 lead out of the first period. Cam Ward stopped all but one of 41 shots in the Carolina goal and was strong during a Toronto power...

Game 8 Preview: Hurricanes at Maple Leafs

Carolina Hurricanes at Toronto Maple Leafs 7 p.m., Air Canada Centre TV: FS-Carolinas, SportsNet-Ontario Starting this long road trip with a 5-3 loss to an injury-depleted Flyers team on Saturday night probably wasn't what the Hurricanes had in mind, so they will look to turn things around tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs. That loss to the Flyers was yet another...

Bill Meltzer: Meltzer's Musings: One Small Step for Flyers, Simmonds Update

Last night's 5-3 win over the Carolina Hurricanes may not have been the textbook way to win a hockey game. But the Flyers couldn't care less right now. They desperately needed the two points from the game. After being held to two or fewer goals in seven of the first eight games, the five goals (including three power play tallies) felt like a bonanza. Let's accentuate...
