Pat Dwyer News

Dwyer (lower-body) should be ready to return to the lineup Saturday.

Dwyer has missed the last six games with a lower-body injury he suffered on October 11th vs. the Islanders. He took regular line rushes on the Hurricanes' fourth line which is a good sign he will be back on Saturday. Head coach Bill Peters said he would be "shocked" if he isn't in the lineup vs. the Coyotes.

Forwards Chad LaRose and Pat Dwyer returned to practice today after missing Tuesday's practice. If LaRose is cleared to play Friday, it's likely forward Riley Nash would be assigned to the Charlotte Checkers (AHL).

Dwyer is listed as day-to-day and should return to the lineup in time for the season opener. Last season he added nine goals and 18 points on the third line. He probably starts the year on the fourth line.
