The Hurricanes have acquired right wing Andreas Nodl on waivers from the Philadelphia Flyers.
GM Jim Rutherford explained in yesterday's press conference that he wanted another two top-9 forwards. Nodl has played that role in the past and should be able to fit in under new coach Kirk Muller.
INJURY UPDATE: #Flyers GM Paul Holmgren says that Andreas Nodl has an upper-body injury and will not return to the game.
Nodl collided with teammate Daniel Briere early in the game and joins the Flyers' wounded because of it. Look for the team to make a recall if a wounded forward cant dress.
Nodl gets back into the lineup and will start the game on the second line. After scoring 11 goals last season, the Austrian native only has one assist through 10 games.
