Hurricanes Recall Dan Renouf

Dan Renouf is headed to the NHL for the first time this season as the Hurricanes have recalled the blue liner from Charlotte.

The 24-year-old Renouf leads the Checkers and ranks fifth in the AHL in penalty minutes (76) and has logged 11 points (1g, 10a) through 36 games.

Renouf, who signed with Carolina this past offseason, spent his first two pro seasons in the Detroit system, winning a Calder Cup with Grand Rapids in 2016-17 and appearing in one NHL contest with the Red Wings.

The Hurricanes are on the road for games against the Islanders tonight and the Lightning Thursday before returning home for contests Friday and Saturday. The Checkers return to action Friday in Charlotte to kick off a six-game home stand.
