Ehlers Out, Hurricanes Press On

0:00On April 25, Carolina Hurricanes Ford. Nikolage Aillers is out for Game 4 of their Eastern Conference first round series against the Ottawa. Senators with a lower body injury. The Hurricanes hold a commanding three games to nothing lead in this best of seven match-up after a tight two-one win in Game 3. Aillers log 17 minutes in six seconds of ice time in that victory before getting hurt. He's picked up just one assist across the first three games, but his absence opens the door for Ford Nicholas Desloreyes to slide into the lineup. Fans are feeling the sting since Ealers was Carolina's second leading score in the regular season with 71 points from 26 goals, and 45 assists over 82 games. That production made him a cornerstone for the squad heading into playoffs. He inked a massive six-year deal worth $51 million at 8.5 million average annual value back on July 3rd, 20, 25, so his health is huge for their run.

1:00With a sweep within reach tonight at Canadian Tire Center, the Hurricanes stay locked in, rolling deep even without their star-wing or firing on all. Cylinders, I'm Cory with the story that's your NHL news today update AI-powered and always on.
