The Carolina Hurricanes announced they have recalled goaltender Dustin Tokarski and sent goaltender Spencer Martin to their AHL affiliate Charlotte Checkers.
Tokarski signed a one-year, two-way deal with Carolina on Monday. He went to Ottawa Senators training camp on a PTO before joining Chicago on professional tryout in November.
The 35-year-old has a 4-1 record with two shutouts, a .933 SV% and a 1.61 GAA with the Checkers this season.
The Humboldt, SK., native has a 23-34-12 record with a .903 SV% in 80 career NHL games.
Martin has a 3-4-1 record with an .846 SV% in nine games with the Hurricanes and a 1-1-1 record and .920 SV% with the Checkers.
The Oakville, ON., native has a 95-86-27 record and .905 SV% in 217 career AHL games, he should start the majority of the games for Charlotte while in the AHL.
With Pyotr Kochetkov back from his injury it will be interesting to see if Tokarski appears in any games.
