The Hurricanes made an addition to their bottom-six forward group last week, bringing in former Rangers, Coyotes and Senators center Derek Stepan to serve as the team’s fourth-line pivot.
Stepan spoke to the media via Zoom Thursday about signing with Carolina, here’s a full breakdown of everything he had to say:
On his shoulder rehab and his expected role with the Hurricanes: Shoulder rehab is going great. I had surgery in the middle of March, so I’m five months post op. I feel really good. I’m pretty much 100%. I was probably 100% about a month ago, so nothing’s really changed going forward for me with the shoulder.
