Kevin Labanc News: Lands pro tryout

Labanc agreed to a professional tryout contract with Carolina on Sunday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Before his 2024-25 campaign was cut short by a shoulder injury in February, Labanc accounted for two goals, 12 points, 35 shots on net, 14 blocked shots and 29 hits across 34 regular-season games with Columbus. Now that he's healthy, he will compete for a standard contract and a roster spot with the Hurricanes at training camp.
