Dwyer (lower body) shed his no-contact jersey at Tuesday's morning skate.

Analysis:

Dwyer hasn't been available since Oct. 11 due to a lower-body injury, but the fact that he's been cleared for contact is a sign that a return could be forthcoming. The Hurricanes will have a three-day break in their schedule before their next game Saturday against the Coyotes. If Dwyer shows no limitations during practices over the next few days, he could have an outside shot at returning to the lineup for the weekend.
