With Trade Deadline day finally, finally, upon us, there’s been a real bustle of activity throughout the league over the last few days. To get you ready for the day to come, here are some of the news and stories around the league from this past weekend:
- As you may have heard, the Carolina Hurricanes were forced into using the Emergency Back-up Goal on Saturday night against the Toronto Maple Leafs when both James Reimer and Petr Mrazek were injured and unable to return. David Ayres turned away eight of the ten shots he faced in nearly half a game’s worth of work to preserve a crucial 6-3 win for the Hurricanes and become the most famous Zamboni driver in the world.
