A key part of the Carolina Hurricanes early season success through the first quarter of the season has been the strong play of one the Hurricanes off-season acquisitions, Erik Haula.
Haula has started strong, notching 8 goals and 3 assists in 16 contests this season. There is just one problem for Haula: a lingering knee injury that he initially injured last year that forced him to miss significant time
Now that Haula is looking like he’ll be out for a little while longer, this opens the door for someone to step up in his absence.
