Logging the usual slew of major minutes and finishing off on a high in April, Pitkanen is expected to rebound back to form from previous campaigns. As the Carolina Hurricanes' top D-man, the 29-year-old Finn will get first crack at playing on a top power-play unit that includes newbies Alexander Semin and Jordan Staal, as well as established figures Eric Staal, Jeff Skinner and Jussi Jokinen. The Hurricanes are in position to score a lot more goals this coming season, which could result in an excellent year for Pitkanen.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Jan 10"},"playerRater30DAY":-4,"positionRank":106}
