Hurricanes' Micheal Ferland: Back to work Friday

Head coach Ron Brind'Amour said Thursday that he was hoping Ferland could return Friday, and it appears to be coming to fruition. The Manitoba native missed two games with the upper-body injury, and the Hurricanes have surely missed his impact on both ends of the ice. Ferland has racked up 35 points (17 goals, 18 assists), 147 hits and a plus-15 rating through 58 games this season.

Hurricanes' Micheal Ferland: Hopeful for Friday return

Ferland has missed the past two games with the upper-body injury, but could be closing in on a return. The 26-year-old has been solid on both ends of the ice, racking up 35 points and 147 hits in 58 games this campaign. Expect a definitive update on Ferland's status closer to puck drop.

Hurricanes' Micheal Ferland: Not in lineup Monday

Ferland is still recovering after taking a helmet to the face last Friday. Luckily for him, the Hurricanes don't play again until Friday in Columbus following Monday's game, so he'll have a few days off to aid his recovery.

Hurricanes' Micheal Ferland: Remains out of lineup

Ferland was injured in Carolina's last game after taking a helmet to the face. Before going down, the Hurricanes' winger had been struggling a bit offensively, going four straight games without a point. He'll hope to be back in the lineup sooner rather than later, with his next chance coming Monday in Colorado. Through 58 games this season, Ferland has 17 goals and 35 points.

Hurricanes' Micheal Ferland: Injured in crushing loss

Ferland saw just 10:50 of ice time, with only two shifts taken in the third period. The physical winger was questionable with an upper-body injury heading into this contest, so it's quite unfortunate that he's back in the trainer's room with another medical issue. Carolina goes right back to work for Saturday's road game against the Predators, so expect a relatively quick turnaround regarding a Ferland update.
