Carolina Hurricanes backup goalie Brian Boucher is expected to miss 4-6 months with an unspecified shoulder injury.
General manager Jim Rutherford said Thursday that Boucher was injured within the past week and is scheduled to have surgery to repair it. He did not say which shoulder was injured.
The 35-year-old Boucher is entering the second year of a two-year, $1.9 million contract he signed last summer to back up Cam Ward.
A groin injury suffered midway through last season cost Boucher 43 games and limited him to just eight starts and 10 total appearances. He finished 1-7 with a 3.41 goals-against average. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The NHL and NHL Players' Association have agreed on a $70.2 million salary cap for this offseason, the league announced Thursday.
The offseason cap will have a lower limit of $54.2 million, an adjusted midpoint of $62.2 million and an upper limit of $70.2 million for the 2012-13 season, pursuant to collective bargaining agreement negotiations.
It remains to be seen, however, if these figures will hold for the upcoming season. The current CBA expires Sept. 15, and the NHL and NHLPA begin labor talks Friday in New York.
The salary cap was $64.3 million this past season. It was $39 million in the first year of the current CBA back in 2005-06.
