HURRICANES ACTIVATE TLUSTY FROM INJURED RESERVE

Forward has missed the last 14 games with an upper-body injury

RALEIGH, NC – Jim Rutherford, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has activated forward Jiri Tlusty (YIH-ree T’LOO-stee) from injured reserve. Tlusty, who has missed the last 14 games with an upper-body injury, is eligible to return for this afternoon’s game in Boston.

The Slany, Czech Republic, native was placed on injured reserve on Jan. 7, retroactive to Dec. 16, when he suffered an upper-body injury after being hit into the boards by Atlanta’s Ben Eager. In 113 career NHL games with Carolina and Toronto, Tlusty has totaled 14 goals, 16 assists (30 points) and 24 penalty minutes.

TLUSTY REACTIVATED; WHO SITS

Now some of the hard decisions begin. Who will sit? The Canes are struggling offensively at times. The idea of putting Samsonov or LaRose on the first line seems ill-advised to me. I say sit Samsonov. Keep Boychuk on the first line and give him that job. It’s not complicated. Young forwards make plenty of mistakes, but if they are sufficiently talented, their good plays contribute far more than their errors in judgment.

I’d sit #14 but I’d look at last nights game sheet first and see who played better…14,59,11,…but like you I want and need to see 11 out there more to see if he can and would hold up under the pressure and strain …but I’m just a fan …hehehe.stay warm in Cincy…
