Status report
Carolina recalled Chatfield and Lajoie from Chicago of the American Hockey League on Monday after DeAngelo and Pesce, each a defenseman, entered COVID-19 protocol. ... Stars coach Rick Bowness cited the puck-handling skills of Holtby against the Hurricanes forecheck as the determining factor for starting him over Oettinger. … Khudobin, a goalie, is expected to be a healthy scratch for the third straight game.
