Wolves’ Wiz, Rattie were Canes short-timers

CHARLOTTE — James Wisniewski may have set a Carolina Hurricanes franchise record for shortest tenure by a skater: 47 seconds.

“And that’s not one of the records you like to have,” he said Thursday, smiling.

The veteran defenseman was in the Canes’ lineup for opening night in the 2015-16 season, only to suffer an ACL tear early in the game against the Nashville Predators. Wisniewski was lost for the season, then had his contract bought out by the Canes after the season.

Wisniewski, 33, has been on the move this season. He played for Admiral Vladivostok in the KHL.
