EDGE Analysis

Makiniemi was included on the Hurricanes' first roster of the season, but he was always expected to officially begin the year with the Wolves. The 22-year-old goalie will be third at best on the organization's goalie depth chart behind the big club's Frederik Andersen and Antti Raanta.
