With the 2018 NHL All-Star Game slowly coming to a close, many NHL teams will be getting ready for games on Tuesday and might be recalling several players they sent down before the break.
- The Carolina Hurricanes announced they have recalled defenseman Haydn Fleury from the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL. The 21-year-old was sent down to get some game time in while everyone was on break. He played one game for the Checkers, his first there this season. The former 2014 first-round pick has played 39 games for the Hurricanes this season. He has six assists in 39 games in his rookie season.
I have to wonder why teams do this, is it purely to get him skate time or is it also to take his salary off the books for a few days?
