The Carolina Hurricanes made their first transaction of what is expected to be many over the next two weeks on Friday, signing restricted free agent forward Andrew Poturalski to a one-year, two-way contract extension.
An undrafted free agent signing out of the University of New Hampshire in 2016, Poturalski has skated in two full seasons with the AHL’s Charlotte Checkers. This past season, he finished with 49 points and set a career-high with 22 goals in the American League. In eight postseason games, he had one goal and four assists.
During his rookie season in 2016-17, he skated in two games for the Hurricanes without tallying any points.
