Stastny And Stepan Might Draw The Short Straws
Derek Stepan spent most of Sunday’s game against the New Jersey Devils on Hat Trick Watch. It has been one calendar month since Paul Stastny had a negative game for the Carolina Hurricanes.
Stasny and Stepan combined have skated in 95% of the 37 games for Carolina. However, the much-anticipated debut of Max Pacioretty will add yet another offensive powerhouse to the dearth of scoring machines already suiting up in Raleigh, likely leaving both Stastny and Stepan without a spot on the roster.
It is possible the Canes can send the veterans to Chicago for a much needed boost in quality ice time for both. Still the sting of not seeing these two will be real.
