Still waiting on Joni Pitkanen news
Hurricanes GM Jim Rutherford sent out news on Twitter yesterday that the team was waiting for the physician on the results of Pitkanen's CT scan and that was not expected until Monday.
Joni Pitkanen had a CT scan today. His doctor will return to the country on Monday and we will get a prognosis at that time.
