Hurricanes goalie Ward putting team ahead of contract

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Cam Ward said Thursday he wants a contract extension, but the 31-year-old's top priority entering training camp is helping his team win as many games as possible this season.

"I'm just kind of going about my business and making sure that I'm ready to go," said Ward, who is entering the final season of the six-year, $37.8 million contract he signed in September 2009. "Obviously, it's no secret that I love playing here and this is where I want to be. Yeah, in a perfect world, it'd be great to have something done, but there's no pressure.
