CAR G Cam Ward's knee injury is MCL, expected to be sidelined 6 to 8 weeks.
Ward was hurt in the second period of yesterday's contest vs. the Panthers when his own defenceman Justin Faulk slid into him. Ward stopped all 15 shots he faced and still recorded the win but this is terrible news for the Hurricanes. A 6-8 week injury means Ward will likely miss the rest of the season. The Hurricanes will now have to go with Dan Ellis and Justin Peters as their goaltenders.
