The Carolina Hurricanes, under the #CauseChaos campaign, have claimed goaltender Spencer Martin off waivers from the Columbus Blue Jackets on Friday afternoon. Spencer Martin is expected to back up Antti Raanta soon, but not tonight. Consequently, Yaniv Perets is likely to be sent back to the Norfolk Admirals in the ECHL. Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour has noted his unfamiliarity with Martin's potential role on the team. In related news, Martin Necas is poised to return to the lineup after missing five games with an upper-body injury.
As expected @Canes sent Yaniv Perets back to Norfolk in the ECHL. Spencer Martin will back up Antti Raanta for the time being
Rod Brind’Amour says he doesn’t know a whole lot about Spencer Martin and how the team plans to utilize him yet, but he did confirm that Yaniv Perets will still back up Antti Raanta tonight. Martin Necas will return after missing five games with an upper-body injury. https://t.co/ONhrAoNVmL
