NHL Tuesday: Five games decided in OT or shootout
see all updates

If it weren't for bad luck the Carolina Hurricanes would have no luck right now. At least as it relates to injuries.

Already playing without two of their best forwards, Jordan Staal and Jeff Skinner, they lost one of their best defenseman, Andrej Sekera, on Tuesday night after he had to be helped off the ice after losing his balance and flying into the end boards.

Sekera was trying to catch up back up to the play as Buffalo raced in on a two-on-one and appeared to trip over the pad of goalie Cam Ward.

Making matters even worse for Carolina, Marcus Foligno scored on the play to give the Sabres a 1-0 lead.
