The Carolina Hurricanes have avoided a major injury concern for defenseman Tony DeAngelo while veteran blueliner Brett Pesce is nearing a return from a lower-body injury suffered in the second game of the playoffs.
Team president and general manager Don Waddell said Wednesday that Pesce has shed a walking boot, is doing work to return and should play at some point in the second-round series against the Presidents\' Trophy-winning New York Rangers.
\"If everything goes as expected, he shall play games this round,\" Waddell said in a Zoom call with reporters. \"Maybe not right off the start, but will play games in this round.\"
