ALBANY — Goalie Justin Peters, center Zach Boychuk and right wing Steven Goertzen have been reassigned to the Albany River Rats by the Carolina Hurricanes.
With the Olympic break starting Monday and running through Sunday, Oct. 28, all three players were sent down to Albany.
Peters won both of his starts for the Hurricanes over the course of a week, including his NHL debut — a 34-save effort in a 3-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday, Feb. 7— and made 23 saves in Carolina’s 5-2 win over New Jersey on Saturday night.
Boychuk, a rookie forward, scored his first NHL goal on Saturday and has posted four (1-3) points in 12 games with the Hurricanes this season.
In his first NHL recall with Carolina, Goertzen appeared in seven games and averaged 7:44 of ice time.
