"It appears injured Carolina Hurricanes forward Jussi Jokinen will be able to return a lot sooner than expected.
As Canes coach Paul Maurice said Thursday, "We dodged a bullet."
Jokinen, the Hurricanes' second-leading scorer, was injured in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning at the RBC Center. Early in the third period, Jokinen fell backward over the Lightning's Ryan Shannon, twisting his left leg under Shannon's body."
