The Checkers' grueling month-long road trip finally reached its conclusion last week, with the team taking two of three contests to finish the stretch with a 6-4-0-0 mark.
The Checkers’ first five games of the season, win or lose, were characterized by an unusually high amount of goals. Friday’s win in Grand Rapids was more about quality rather than quantity.
The Hurricanes continue to rotate through seventh defensemen, with rookie Brett Pesce getting the call today to join the team as they head to California.
