RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Two of the Carolina Hurricanes' cornerstone players have been placed on the injured list.
The team said Thursday that goalie Cam Ward has been placed on the long-term injured list while All-Star center Eric Staal was placed on injured reserve.
Ward has been out nearly two weeks after his leg was sliced by a skate. Staal has been out since Nov. 1 with an upper body injury.
The Hurricanes recalled right wing Patrick Dwyer from Albany of the AHL to fill a roster spot. Dwyer is eligible to make his season debut with Carolina on Thursday night against Toronto. He had one goal in 13 regular-season games last year, and had an assist in two playoff games.
