The Carolina Hurricanes have recalled defenseman Roland McKeown from Charlotte.

Presented by First National Bank
This marks the fourth NHL recall for the blue liner. McKeown, who made his NHL debut earlier this season, has logged seven games for the Hurricanes thus far and has picked up a pair of assists.

McKeown ranks second among Checkers defensemen in scoring with 23 points this season and is tied for second in the AHL in plus-minus with a +35 rating.

The Hurricanes return to action tomorrow for a road contest in Florida, while the Checkers host Lehigh Valley on Tuesday and Wednesday.
