The Chicago Wolves have released goaltender Manny Legace, and the 10-year National Hockey League veteran has been signed by the Carolina Hurricanes.

The Toronto native appeared in six games with Chicago, after being signed on Oct. 12, posting a 2-2-1 record with a 3.21 goals-against average and .898 save percentage. He also notched one shutout, blanking the Manitoba Moose on all 30 shots on Oct. 23, though the team went on to drop a 1-0 decision in the shootout that game.

Legace amassed a 177-92-33 record with a 2.38 goals-against average and 23 shutouts in 337 career NHL games with the Los Angeles Kings (1998-99), Detroit Red Wings (1999-2004, 2005-06) and St. Louis Blues (2006-09). He also appeared in 11 Stanley Cup playoff games, notching a 4-6 record and a 2.54 goals-against average, which includes winning the 2002 Stanley Cup as a member of the Red Wings.

Last season, the 36-year-old goaltender collected a 13-9-2 record with a 3.18 goals-against average and .885 save percentage in 29 NHL games with the St. Louis Blues. He also posted a 14-7-1 record with a 2.00 goals-against average and .935 save percentage in 23 American Hockey League outings with the Peoria Rivermen.
