'Canes place Staal, Ward on injured list

Two of the Carolina Hurricanes' cornerstone players have been placed on the injured list.

The team said Thursday that goalie Cam Ward has been placed on the long-term injured list while All-Star center Eric Staal was placed on injured reserve.

Ward has been out nearly two weeks after his leg was sliced by a skate. Staal has been out since Nov. 1 with an upper body injury.

The Hurricanes recalled right wing Patrick Dwyer from Albany of the AHL to fill a roster spot. Dwyer is eligible to make his season debut with Carolina on Thursday night against Toronto. He had one goal in 13 regular-season games last year, and had an assist in two playoff games.
