RALEIGH, N.C. — Carolina Hurricanes goalie Petr Mrazek left Saturday night’s game against the Dallas Stars in the first period with an upper-body injury, the team announced.
The Hurricanes said Mrazek would not return.
Mrazek went down 2 minutes, 47 seconds into the game after being bumped by teammate Max McCormick, knocking the net out of place.
Mrazek received medical attention briefly on the ice before skating off while holding his right wrist.
James Reimer entered in place of Mrazek. He is making his second appearance of the season.
Counting Saturday, Mrazek, 28, has played in four of Carolina’s five games this season. He was 2-1-0 in the first three games with two shutouts, 63 saves and a 1.00 goals-against average.
