Yet Another Hurricanes Player Out With Injury

William Carrier will miss his first game of the season due to a lower-body injury

The Carolina Hurricanes are struggling to stay healthy as of late with the most recent addition to the injury report being forward William Carrier.

Carrier, 30, has been ruled out of Sunday night's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins due to a lower-body injury.

It will be the first game Carrier has missed this season.

The big forward leads the team in hits with 136 and also had four goals and nine assists to go along with that. His line with Jordan Staal and Jordan Martinook had been Carolina's most dominant and so his loss is a big one.

Juha Jaaska will slot in for Carolina in Carrier's absence in what will be just his second career game.
