The Carolina Hurricanes’ preferred #1 goaltender will be out long-term with an upper-body injury and there’s a strong possibility he needs surgery.
In the first of two games against the Dallas Stars on Saturday night, Petr Mrazek was involved in a collision with teammate Max McCormick in the first period.
