Eddie Lack gets the call for Carolina's matchup with Pittsburgh

Carolina Hurricanes netminder Eddie Lack is getting the call for Thursday's road game at the Pittsburgh Penguins.

What It Means:

Lack stopped 29 of 31 shots in the Hurricanes' overtime loss to the Washington Capitals on Tuesday. Lack has gone 7-6-4 with a 2.71 goals against average and .902 save percentage in 16 starts on the road this season. Tonight, he draws a rough matchup in his second start versus the Penguins. He was lit up for five goals on 32 shots in a 5-0 loss back in January.

Lack is our last-ranked goalie for a busy Thursday night. We project him to allow 2.53 goals on 27.35 shots with a 25 percent chance of emerging victorious.
