Just two weeks ago the Carolina Hurricanes were preparing to face off against the Maple Leafs in Toronto with a goaltending tandem of Petr Mrazek and James Reimer. But, when the final horn sounded, neither Petr or James would be the goalie of record for the Canes.
Entering the night, the Hurricanes were coming off a 5-2 home loss at the hands of the Rangers and were looking to get back on track on the second half of a back to back. With Petr playing the night before, Reimer was set to make his 25th appearance of the season in net.
