Injuries to some important players has left the Carolina Hurricanes in an awkward situation with their forward unit.
Nathan Gerbe has been out since November 22 with a lower body injury, Phil Di Giuseppe has been sidelined with a concussion, and Victor Rask has been sidelined with what is classified as an upper body injury.
These injuries have forced the Hurricanes’ coaching staff to slot guys like Riley Nash, Chris Terry, and Brock McGinn up in the lineup/organization in order to stay afloat while these key players are out.
