Of all teams, the Carolina Hurricanes should know: When it rains, it pours.

If a franchise-worst 2-9-3 start wasn't enough, they'll have to dig themselves out of the hole without star center Eric Staal. The ironman who had been one of the most durable forwards in the league during the last four seasons will be out of the lineup for at least two weeks, nursing an upper body injury. It's the first extended absence he'll take since he entered the league in 2003.
