RALEIGH -- The Carolina Hurricanes have lost their first two games
and now have lost a key player.
Forward Erik Cole will be sidelined four to six weeks with a
broken bone in his lower left leg, general manager Jim Rutherford
said Sunday. Cole was injured Saturday in the final minutes of the
Canes' 7-2 loss to the Boston Bruins at TD Garden.
Cole had to be helped from the ice after a collision with the
Bruins' Dennis Wideman along the boards. Wideman's attempted hip
check was a hard but clean hit, his right leg smacking into Cole's
left leg. It came with Boston leading by five goals.
