JUST NOTES: The Carolina Hurricanes have assigned C Brandon Sutter, who turned 20 on Feb. 14, to the AHL’s Albany River Rats on a conditioning stint. Sutter is eligible to stay there for two weeks. He has six points in 50 games with Carolina. . . . Congratulations to former WHLer Travis Moen and his wife, Amy, on the birth of their son. The little guy is a first child and makes a grandparent of Amy’s father, Lorne Frey, who is the Kelowna Rockets’ assistant GM, head scout and director of player personnel. Geez, who would have known Lorne was that old? . . . The Prince Albert Raiders, locked in a struggle for the Eastern Conference’s last playoff spot, have lost F Dustin Cameron, their top sniper, with a high ankle sprain. The 33-goal man was injured in practice Monday and is likely to be out at least two weeks.
