http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/team/111 Recent articles about the St. Louis Blues en-us They were once teammates on the Detroit Red Wings -- Manny Legace, Aaron Ward and Ray Whitney. Now they've been reunited again with the Hurricanes. Legace and Ward have known each other since their days in junior hockey in Canada. Whitney has been both teammate and pesky foe. And Legace, with a laugh, said he has known the Canes' Scott Walker "since he was a defenseman." A crisis situation has put them in the same room again: Cam Ward's leg laceration that will s...

The Hurricanes on Monday signed Legace to a one-year contract that will pay him $500,000 at the NHL level or $105,000 if he is sent to the minors. The 36-year-old has a career NHL record of 177-92-36 and was 2-2 with a 3.21 goals-against average this season with the AHL's Chicago Wolves Carolina was searching for help in net because Ward will be out for up to four weeks.

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. The Hurricanes need a stable hand at this point as much as they need a quick one. Legace should be able to provide that, at the least. Most notably, it's an indication that the Hurricanes aren't completely cert...

Cam Ward will be out at least three to four weeks, general manager Jim Rutherford says, so a goaltending decision must be made. The best guess here is that the Hurricanes will sign a goaltender and that it will be Manny Legace. He's 36, he's experienced and he played well against the Canes in a preseason exhibition game during a tryout with the Atlanta Thrashers. Legace has been playing for the Chicago Wolves (AHL).
