BREAKING: Carolina Claims Goaltender Off Waivers

The Carolina Hurricanes have just made another move in goal, adding Spencer Martin to their roster. They claimed Martin off waivers today from the Columbus Blue Jackets. Martin was previously claimed by the Blue Jackets from the Canucks back in September.

The Hurricanes have been struggling to find good backup goaltending this season after Frederik Andersen went out in November with a blood clotting issue. Andersen has no date for a return, which has left the Hurricanes with a severe hole in their roster.

This is obviously an issue for the Hurricanes, a team with real ambitions and enough skill to contend for the cup this season. They will need to figure out a reliable solution between the pipes instead of a stop-gap.
