The Canes have recalled forward Brett Sutter from the Charlotte Checkers of the American Hockey League (AHL) on an emergency basis.
Forward Zac Dalpe suffered a lower body injury during Friday’s game in Buffalo and his status is listed as week-to-week.
Sutter, 24, has skated in four games for the Checkers this season, and has not registered a point. He was named Charlotte’s captain prior to the season.
