Lack will protect the net Thursday night against the Maple Leafs.

EDGE Analysis

Cam Ward is Carolina's No. 1 goalie, but he went on injured reserve Wednesday with a concussion. This affords Lack the chance to improve upon his poor rate stats which include a 2.97 GAA and .891 save percentage through 18 appearances. Given that Toronto averages 31.3 shots on goal per game, seventh most in the NHL, Lack could be in for a busy night.
