Ellis tonight for Nashville

[DINGO5152]

Chip Alexander, Canes beat reporter for the News Observer blogged that Ward would be starting tonight and one of his "tweets" mentioned Roloson for the Isles. He didn't mention why he thought Ward is going for the Canes but was under the assumption that he was at the morning practice while on Twitter.

I've read locally that Roloson is starting tonight, Biron starting tomorrow night for Isles.
