Status report
Fast, a forward, was injured in the first period of a 3-2 win at the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday after taking a check to the head from Maple Leafs forward Noah Gregor. "He is going to be out, that I know. But I don't know how long," Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour said Monday. ... Lemieux, who has been a healthy scratch the past 10 games, will enter the lineup for Fast. … Kochetkov is expected to make his seventh start in eight games. ... Shesterkin will start for the sixth time in eight games; he made 34 saves in a 5-1 win at the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday.
