Carolina Hurricanes: What the return of Victor Rask means

The only player from the Carolina Hurricanes to be placed on Injury Reserve this season is set to make his debut tonight against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Victor Rask was activated and will draw into the lineup tonight for the first time since cutting his hand during the pre-season. His veteran knowledge and leadership will be critical tonight against a tough Maple Leafs team.

But how much can the center contribute to tonight’s game? Last season saw him benched a few times by them-Head Coach Bill Peters. He managed to score 14 goals during 72 games, and ended the season with only 31 points, the lowest of his career.
