Hurricanes' Eddie Lack: Protecting net Saturday

Lack will assume the home net in a start against the Predators on Saturday, NHL.com reports.

Analysis:

Two weeks ago, Hurricanes coach Bill Peters publicly called out Lack for poor play, but the message was well received since he's allowed just four goals on 81 shots in three starts since. Lack emerged victorious from two of those outings, including a brilliant showing against a stingy Minnesota team on Thursday, allowing just one score on 31 attempts. He'll be a sneaky fantasy play Saturday since there can't be a whole lot of attention on Carolina's hockey club with its current standing of seventh place within the Metropolitan Division.
