On the opening day of free agency, the Carolina Hurricanes and Toronto Maple Leafs have "swapped" goalies Frederik Andersen and Petr Mrazek, according to sources.
Hurricanes goaltender Curtis McElhinney, making the first playoff start of his 11-year career in place of an injured Petr Mrazek, stopped 28 shots Wednesday night as Carolina moved within a victory of a berth in the Eastern Conference final.
Carolina Hurricanes goalie Petr Mrazek is day-to-day with a lower body injury, and defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk is out with an upper body injury.
A return to the Stanley Cup playoffs is just the start of something special that the franchise is cooking.
