NHL Note - Carolina Hurricanes Ward, Cam

Nov 20, 2017 - 3:19 PM G Cam Ward, in only his fifth appearance of the season, made 27 saves. He was clutch after the team's 6-4 loss to New York just three nights earlier.

"For whatever reason, it usually is a wild game against these guys," Ward said. "You just want to take care of your own business. You've got to be on your toes because they're going to be pushing."

The Hurricanes turned to Ward a night after Scott Darling posted a victory at Buffalo. It was part of the plan, coach Bill Peters said.

"Oh boy, he was dialed in," Peters said of Ward.
