The American Hockey League today announced the following suspensions:

The reigning AHL Player of the Week scored two goals and assisted on another one in his NHL debut with the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday afternoon.

After a whirlwind of transactions, the Charlotte Checkers are far from ready to give up on their season.

The Carolina Hurricanes goalie shortage has had a ripple effect on Charlotte, their American Hockey League affiliate, and opened a new opportunity for NHL veteran Keith Kinkaid.

The Charlotte Checkers have acquired forward Ryan Bourque from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers in exchange for forwards Terry Broadhurst and Cedric Lacroix.

Charlotte Checkers forward Morgan Geekie has been selected as the CCM/AHL Player of the Week for the period ending March 1, 2020.

The New Jersey Devils have traded defenseman Sami Vatanen to the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for forward Janne Kuokkanen, defenseman Fredrik Claesson and Carolina’s conditional fourth-round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft.

The Florida Panthers have acquired forwards Erik Haula, Lucas Wallmark and Eetu Luostarinen and defenseman Chase Priskie from the Carolina Hurricanes for forward Vincent Trocheck.

The New York Rangers have acquired forward Julien Gauthier from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for defenseman Joey Keane.

Jake Bean’s first pro season was a special one, featuring a historic stat line, leaguewide honors, an NHL recall and a Calder Cup championship. And, as it turns out, it was only the beginning.
