The Carolina Hurricanes will recall forward Jakub Petruzalek from Albany of the American Hockey League (AHL) on Thursday morning, the team announced Wednesday. In order to make room for Petruzalek on the roster, forward Scott Walker will be placed on the injured reserve list with an upper-body injury.
Hurricanes center Rod Brind’Amour will return to Raleigh and will not be available for Thursday’s game in San Jose due to a lower-body injury.
Petruzalek, 23, ranks second among River Rats skaters this season in scoring with 34 points (12g, 22a) in 47 games.
