Carolina Hurricanes: Takeaways from Insane Road Win vs. Toronto

3. Mrazek, Reimer, Pesce Out.

In a more serious and negative note, James Reimer, Petr Mrazek, and Brett Pesce are all ‘out’ at this point.

Acccording to Rod Brind’amour (at the time of writing), Reimer and Pesce are both out ‘long-term’, and Mrazek is still questionable.

As of right now, it has been reported that both Alex Nedeljkovic and Anton Forsberg will be called up from Charlotte. No word has been confirmed about a defensive callup; more than likely, if no trades are made, the Carolina Hurricanes will call up one of their stellar defensive prospects.

I, for one, prefer Jake Bean, but we shall see who ends up getting the call, if anyone does at all.

In any case, last night had a ton of positives to be taken away; David Ayres, the camaraderie that has finally returned to the franchise, and a win against a strong opponent. The negatives are that we’re down some very key pieces moving forward, but what is adversity to this team anymore but a stepping stone to something greater than themselves?

The Carolina Hurricanes are poised to come out the other side of this particular speed bump brighter than we’ve seen them in a long time. Let’s hope they take full advantage of it, and keep their foot on the gas.
