Head coach Rod Brind'Amour met with the media on Monday and told reporters that none of their recent injuries are "short term." With Pesce set to miss some time, the Hurricanes could be in the market for a defenseman before today's trade deadline.

Haula performed admirably in his third-line role for the Hurricanes after being acquired from Vegas in the off-season. Injuries limited him to just 41 games in a Carolina uniform, but he was able to register 12 goals and 10 assists while playing less than 16 minutes a night. He should play more of a top-six role now with the Panthers. Haula is set to become an unrestricted free-agent on July 1.

Bernier allowed three goals on 39 shots in the Red Wings loss to the Islanders on Friday. Bernier has gone 1-4-0 with a 3.29 GAA and .895 SV% in his last six games (five starts) and draws a tough assignment tonight with the Flames in town. They may be just 4-3-0 in their last seven but Calgary has averaged 4.86 goals per game in that span.

Siegenthaler played 13:51 TOI in New Jersey on Saturday afternoon but will be replaced by Radko Gudas in the lineup vs. the Penguins.

Pesce was hurt midway through Saturday's win over the Maple Leafs and did not return. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour did not have a good update on the 25-year-old defenseman, leaving them without two of their top-4 defenseman for an extended period of time. With the trade deadline on Monday, this injury could change how the Hurricanes operate in the next 24 hours.

Markstrom allowed two goals on 38 shots in the Canucks win over the Predators on Monday. It was a terrific performance that snapped a three-game losing streak for Markstrom. He comes in at 1-1-0 while surrendering eight goals on 68 shots (.882 SV%) in two games vs. the Blackhawks this season.
