Recently, there have been intriguing developments regarding the Carolina Hurricanes' pursuit of a reliable netminder.

Pierre LeBrun, a well-known and respected NHL insider renowned for his invaluable insights and insider knowledge, recently provided information regarding the Canes' quest for goaltending solutions.

In a segment of "Insider Trading," LeBrun shared news about the Canes.

“Carolina keeping an eye on the three goalie situations in Detroit and Montreal, among other places, to see if maybe there is a trade fit,” said LeBrun.

Examining the situation in Detroit, the Carolina Hurricanes have identified a potential source of goaltending reinforcement. The Detroit Red Wings boast a solid netminding roster featuring the likes of Ville Husso, Alex Lyon and James Reimer.

For the Hurricanes, this abundance of goaltending talent in Detroit presents an opportunity for a mutually beneficial trade.

The Montreal Canadiens boast a goaltending depth with Jake Allen, Sam Montembeault and Cayden Primeau at their helm. The Canes might focus on acquiring a talented goaltending prospect from Montreal.

Amid these discussions, LeBrun also noted that the Canes have engaged in talks with veteran goaltender Jaroslav Halak.

Hailing from Slovakia, Halak was selected by the Montreal Canadiens as the 271st overall pick in the ninth and final round of the 2003 NHL Entry Draft. Over the years, he has carved out a respectable and commendable career, representing various teams in the league.

This marked Necas's second overtime victory at home this NHL season, as he deftly redirected the puck into the net. The Canes' initial two goals were scored by their defensemen, Tony DeAngelo and Brady Skjei, while Sebastian Aho contributed with two assists, including one on the decisive goal.
