Carolina Hurricanes’ Eddie Lack thinking less, playing better

Eddie Lack was rock-solid in wins over Minnesota and Nashville last week.

Cam Ward has started the past two games, picking up the win Tuesday against the Florida Panthers.

With the regular season in its final stretch, Canes coach Bill Peters finally has what he wanted all along: two good, reliable options at goaltender.

The Canes (31-27-13), with points in their past eight games, face the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday in a road game at the Bell Centre, and Peters can keep the Habs guessing on his starting goalie, if he wants.

Ward had 40 saves Sunday in the 4-3 overtime loss to the Philadelphia Flyers, then 33 in the 4-3 win Tuesday over the Panthers.
