Dougie Hamilton, Brett Pesce, Petr Mrazek, James Reimer, and Sami Vatanen. Those are the five players on the injury list for a Carolina Hurricanes team that can really use just one of them right now. In fact since the injury to Hamilton, this team has completely lost its identity.
Before the Hamilton injury the Hurricanes were 27-18-2 (0.596 point percentage) including the loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets that fateful day. Since then they are only 8-7-3 (0.527 point percentage). That’s not much of a drop off in point production for the team.
