Veteran goaltender Jaroslav Halak is joining the Carolina Hurricanes on a free agent tryout, the team announced on Monday.
This comes as the Hurricanes also reveal that starter Frederik Andersen is dealing with a medical issue and undergoing evaluations. Carolina says an update will be provided when available, but no further comment will be issued until then.
UPDATE: The Hurricanes announced Andersen is out indefinitely with a blood clotting issue.
