Fantasy Analysis
Apparently Brian Boucher is ready to return and will be removed from injured reserve. Justin Peters has been in the net for seven games this season and he's posted a respectable 2.48 GAA, and a .931 save percentage. In 12 games with the Canes last year, his GAA was 3.98. He'll be in the AHL for the time being, but he may be called up for a few starts before the end of the season. (Updated 03/02/2012).

Jussi Jokinen scored on a deflection with 8:05 left to lift the Carolina Hurricanes past the San Jose Sharks, 3-2 on Friday.
Peters' role as the backup to Cam Ward last season was, in a word, tenuous. The 24-year-old backstop made his way into just 12 games last season, and was shaky in the way of posting a .875 save percentage, 3.98 goals-against average and 3-5-1 record on the season. The Hurricanes acquired veteran puck-stopper Brian Boucher in the offseason, which all but guarantees that Peters will get his ticket to AHL Charlotte in 2011-12. (Updated 8/16/11)
