Carolina Hurricanes goalie Cam Ward remains in a Columbus, Ohio hospital after a skate laceration to his upper leg during a game with the Columbus Blue Jackets.  Ward’s leg was stitched up,  however, he will be kept in hospital until Monday.  Ward stretched to make a save while Rick Nash, captain of the Blue Jackets, skated through the crease.  It seemed that Nash nicked Ward’s leg with his skate.

Ward was injured during the first period on Saturday night’s game between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Columbus Blue Jackets.  The Hurricanes lost 3-2 to the Blue Jackets.  Michael Leighton relieved Ward and stopped 19 shots.  Unfortunately, he gave up three goals early in the third period.
