Ward, Hurricanes look to slow down Lecavalier, Lightning

Dec 6, 2007 - 2:52 PM Carolina (15-10-3) at Tampa Bay (12-13-2) 7:30 pm EST

TAMPA, Florida (Ticker) -- Cam Ward and the Carolina Hurricanes will have their hands full trying to stop Vincent Lecavalier.

Ward and the Hurricanes visit Lecavalier and the Tampa Bay Lightning in a matchup of Southeast Division rivals Thursday.

Lecavalier and the Lightning have won two straight after a six-game slide. They will now look for revenge against Carolina, which beat them during that losing streak, 4-3, on November 23.

The first pick of the 1998 draft, Lecavalier is leading the league with 42 points and has a seven-game points streak vs. the Hurricanes. He recorded his fifth career hat trick and tied his career high with five points in a 6-1 home win over Carolina on November 14.

The man responsible for trying to slow Lecavalier is Ward, who is 13-6-2 with a 2.55 goals-against average this season.

Ward stopped 28 shots to record his second shutout of the season in a 4-0 win over the New York Rangers on Monday.
