In advance of the Charlotte Checkers’ preseason training camp beginning on Monday, the Carolina Hurricanes assigned five players to their minor league affiliate on Saturday afternoon.
Goaltender Daniel Altshuller, defenseman Josh Wesley, and forwards Clark Bishop, Erik Karlsson and Kyle Hagel will report to Checkers camp next week. The move leaves 46 players remaining in Canes camp, and notably Alex Nedeljkovic stays put ahead of Altshuller on the goaltender depth chart, perhaps giving us an indication of how the Canes see their goalie hierarchy playing out as the season approaches.
