Cam Ward

Hurricanes green-light Cam Ward for Friday's home game

Carolina Hurricanes netminder Cam Ward will start between the pipes on Friday against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

What It Means:

Ward is 18-13-6 with a 2.42 goals against average through 38 starts this season. His .912 save percentage isn't especially strong, but it is his best mark since the 2011-2012 season.

Our models project Ward for 24.6 saves, 2.7 goals against and a 42.0 percent chance of scoring a win on Friday. That makes him our last-ranked fantasy goalie among the day's 12 starters.
