In breaking news today, the Carolina Hurricanes have released veteran goaltender Jaroslav Halak from his PTO with the team. Halak was signed after it was revealed that Frederik Andreson would be out for the foreseeable future with a blood clotting issue.
Halak, signed as a potential third-string goaltender for the Hurricanes, did not see any playing time during his PTO with the team.
The release strongly indicates that Halak's NHL career is coming to a close, as the 33-year-old goaltender could not crack the Hurricanes lineup. Halak played in 25 games last season with the New York Rangers.
