Some absolutely heartbreaking news involving the hockey community today. Carolina Hurricanes forward Erik Haula announced this evening that his unborn daughter has passed away. Haula announced the devastating news on his Instagram page.
Haula is in his first season with the Hurricanes. The former Golden Knight has been very good for the Canes when he's been in the lineup, with 17 points in 21 games. His season has been a frustrating one up to this point, as he has been sidelined for 19 games already.

He missed four games in early November with a lower body injury. Upon returning, he managed only two games before a knee injury, which forced him to be out for 15 more.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Erik Haula and his wife.
