Goalie Daniel Altshuller was recalled from Charlotte of the American Hockey League. Altshuller, 21, is 9-1-1 with a 1.71 GAA, .941 save percentage and one shutout in 11 AHL games.
The Hurricanes face the Toronto Maple Leafs at Air Canada Centre on Thursday and return home Friday to play the New York Rangers.
