BRANDON SUTTER RUMORS

CHL Forward Prospects

The decision on which player the Carolina Hurricanes should take with the eighth pick in the NHL Draft is anything but unanimous but one thing that can be agreed on is that it should be a forward. The Canes do have a decent future up front with Jeff Skinner and Brandon Sutter already contributing at the NHL level, but their prospect pool is very thin. The team's best forward...

The Hurricanes and faceoffs

Something that was discussed a lot over the course of the season was how hard the Hurricanes centers worked over the off-season to improve their overall performance at the faceoff dot. This was something that needed to be done because the team was just awful at faceoffs during the 2010-11 season (44.6% success rate) and it was one of the reasons why they struggled so much on special...

Wild lacks a sense of urgency, players say

ST. PAUL It took barely three minutes for the scrum to form, jostling and punching up against the glass. In even less time, Brandon Sutter and Nate Prosser had separated, drifting farther and farther onto the ice, carried by the power of their punches. And then quickly Prosser was on top, perched upon the Carolina center, pressing him into the cold ice. It was decisive and final...

The importance of Brandon Sutter

One of the bright spots for the Hurricanes this year has been Brandon Sutter's emergance as a shutdown defensive center but I still hear hockey pundits talk about how he has been a "disappointment." Whenever I hear that, I can't help but feel that these "experts" aren't watching the Hurricanes and are only looking at Sutter's 22 points in 54 games...

'Canes Insider: Coming up big in shorthanded situations

Shorthanded goals have been a sort of saving grace for the Hurricanes this season. They picked up their seventh man-down goal in Monday night's game against New Jersey. That came in the 37th game of the season, marking the same total they notched all of last season. If nothing else, generating offense in shorthanded situations has been something that took place prior to the...

Sutter stars as Hurricanes top Devils

Brandon Sutter scored a short-handed goal and was credited with a bizarre empty-netter Monday night, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 4-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils. Tuomo Ruutu and Anthony Stewart scored in the second period, and Tim Gleason and Tim Brent each had two assists for the Hurricanes. Sutter's empty-net goal came at the end of a strange sequence. Ilya...

Canes, minus Sutter, get in power-play work

Derek Joslin, the extra defenseman in Sunday's game at Florida, was filling in today for center Brandon Sutter in practice at the RBC Center. Joslin was at center with Anthony Stewart and Andreas Nodl on the fourth line, and also scored on the shootout that ended practice. Canes coach Kirk Muller said Sutter was taking a maintenance day for a lower-body concern but would play...

The Struggling Sutters’ Meet

from Scott Cruickshank of the Calgary Herald, This season hasn’t exactly been a (father-and-son) picnic. Brandon Sutter’s Carolina Hurricanes are stuck near the bottom of the National Hockey League standings. To be precise, 28th. Dear old dad, a couple of time zones to the left, isn’t faring much better. The Calgary Flames, piloted by Brent Sutter, are listing...
