Cam Ward will be a game-time call Friday for Hurricanes

Carolina Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward was projected to start Friday night, but now he is listed as a game-time decision.

What It Means:

Ward was in the starter's crease during the morning skate, but he was forced to leave early for reasons unknown. Head coach Bill Peters said the netminder's status will be determined following an examination. If Ward is ruled out, Eddie Lack could see his first action since November 10.

Ward is 19-16-6 this season while posting a 2.57 goals-against average and .907 save percentage with a pair of shutouts.
