CAROLINA HURRICANES - Martin Gerber - The former Anaheim backup is receiving a chance to start in Carolina after performing admirably as Jean-Sebastien Giguere's understudy. Gerber, who will be backed up by rookie Cam Ward, needs to prove he can hold up with a starter's workload.

TAMPA BAY LIGHTNING - Vaclav Prospal - Prospal flourished with Tampa in 02-03, leading the team in scoring with 79 points (22g, 57a). He was acquired by Anaheim the following campaign but watched his production dip. It will be interesting if he immediately fits right back in with the Bolts.
