Another injury has scrambled the lineup for the Carolina Hurricanes for the second time in as many games. This time, the upper-body injury to Valentin Zykov and the existing injuries to Phil Di Giuseppe and Brock McGinn have necessitated a callup for Lucas Wallmark, who makes his NHL debut tonight on a line with Joakim Nordstrom and Lee Stempniak.
Coach Bill Peters said that Di Giuseppe, who skated this morning, is in game shape aside from the fact that he can't shoot the puck, which hints at a wrist injury. Zykov (who may, depending on the severity of the injury, be this year's version of Brad Fast) and McGinn are not on the trip, and Peters said neither one of them is expected back in the short term.
