Canes coach Paul Maurice said today that forward Chad LaRose was injured during Saturday's game against the Blackhawks. LaRose has an upper-body injury, did not make the four-game road trip and will be re-evaluated next week.
Maurice said injured forwards Tuomo Ruutu, Erik Cole and Scott Walker still are not ready to play. The Canes elected to play Monday's game with 19 roster players.
There's a chance defenseman Joe Corvo could return Wednesday against Calgary.

Mon, 02/01/2010 - 18:04 — ynotagainRosey has been playing a lot better since his return from his last upper body injury. This is not good news.
Did Cole, Ruttu and Walker make the road trip, Chip ?
I'm getting worried there's more to Cole's status then we've been told so far.
