Canes defenseman Joe Corvo, as expected, was activated from injured reserve and should play tonight against the Calgary Flames.
The team also said forward Tuomo Ruutu had been placed on injured reserve.
Corvo has been out the last 28 games after being slashed on the lower leg by Karl Alzner of the Washington Capitals in the Nov. 30 game at the RBC Center.
