Cam Ward

Ward signed a one-day contract with Carolina on Wednesday to retire as a member of the Hurricanes.

Ward allowed four goals on 49 shots in a 5-2 loss to the Predators on Saturday.

Ward will defend the blue paint in Saturday's road matchup with the Predators, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Ward stopped 25 of 26 shots after replacing Corey Crawford (groin) early in the second period of Friday's 6-1 win over the Stars.
