    Ward, who needed stitches, was still in hospital in Columbus, Ohio, but is expected to return to Raleigh on Monday, the Hurricanes said on their website (hurricanes.nhl.com/).

    His leg was cut open when he collided with Columbus Blue Jackets forward Rick Nash in the first period of the Blue Jackets' 3-2 victory on Saturday.
