Boychuk to be called up
Look for Zach Boychuk to step into the fourth line role for Anthony Stewart.
Line Change
The Canes have not given up on Boychuk. He has played 56 games for Carolina, including 23 last season, and should be back in the Canes' lineup again at some point this season.
Boychuk did not make the team out of training camp but should be one of the first call-ups. Last season he scored 22 goals and 65 points through 60 games with the Charlotte Checkers of the AHL, indicating he is very close to NHL ready. Keep an eye out for the former 14th overall pick at some point this season.
