Murphy (upper-body) is ready to return to the Hurricanes lineup on Tuesday.

Murphy missed the last two games with an upper-body injury that he suffered last Tuesday. Monitor his status during tomorrow's morning skate, but it sounds like head coach Kirk Muller fully expects him to be available.

Murphy left Tuesday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return.

Murphy was hit high by Blue Jackets forward Blake Comeau in the first period. He struggled to get to the bench and then went down the tunnel and did not return. Murphy is considered day-to-day until the Hurricanes release an update on his status. Justin Faulk, who missed yesterday's game with an illness, should slide back in the lineup for Murphy, with Mike Komisarek also staying in.
