Hurricanes' DeAngelo out 4 weeks with midsection injury
by Josh Wegman from on (#5WFMM)
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Tony DeAngelo will miss about a month with an injury to his midsection, head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Thursday, according to Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer.
DeAngelo's first season with the Canes has been a successful one. He's recorded 40 points in 43 games - tied for third-most on the team and tied for eight-most among NHL defensemen.
The 26-year-old has been playing on the top pair with Jaccob Slavin. Here's how the defense looks with DeAngelo sidelined:
| LD | RD |
|---|---|
| Jaccob Slavin | Brett Pesce |
| Brady Skjei | Jalen Chatfield |
| Ian Cole | Ethan Bear |
DeAngelo signed a one-year, $1-million contract with Carolina in the offseason after he was bought out by the New York Rangers.
