RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Carolina Hurricanes found something that worked and theyre sticking with it.So Cam Ward will be the goalie for Sundays game against the Philadelphia Flyers at PNC Arena.If you win, you stay in right now, Carolina coach Bill Peters said, referring to Friday nights stirring 3-2 victory against the New York Rangers in the home opener.Peters said the decision to stay with Ward made for an easy answer to questions amid an opening stretch when the Hurricanes (2-3-2) havent had a lot of answers.Ward said he would like to be part of the solution, but he said he knows he needs more performances like Friday nights in order to have regular opportunities.Nobody needs to tell me I have to step up, Ward said.The Flyers are in search of consistency as well and they enter this matchup fresh off Saturday nights 5-4 home loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins.Yet there were elements of the performance that the Flyers would like to carry into the next game less than 24 hours later.Thats the blueprint right there, Philadelphia coach Dave Hakstol said. (It) just wasnt enough. Were looking for two points.Philadelphias goalie situation might be less clear considering both netminders played Saturday. Steve Mason started and, after giving up three first-period goals, was replaced by Michal Neuvirth.You probably need a save there on one of them, Hakstol said of the first-period situation without a hint about whos in net for the next game.After the Hurricanes began the season with six consecutive road games, they have some make-up work to do.I think we learned from our past games, Ward said.Hurricanes center Jeff Skinner is coming off a three-point game (two goals, one assist). He had been dealing with a middle-body injury, but he seemed to have worked through that. He also wore the A for the first time at home.Carolina left winger Bryan Bickells deflection resulted in the game-winning goal against the Rangers.We need to carry this momentum into Sunday, Bickell said.Jakub Voracek is coming off a two-goal game for the Flyers, while Claude Giroux also scored Saturday night to take an eight-game points streak to Carolina.The Flyers (3-5-1), wholl play their fifth game in seven days, have given up at least three goals in each of the previous four games.The Flyers defeated the Hurricanes 6-3 on Oct. 22 in Philadelphia. That marked the season-high goal total for the Flyers.Philadelphia will be the first repeat opponent for the Hurricanes this season. These teams will play three more times, but not again until Jan. 31.Sundays game is the first of a six-game stretch with four road games for the Flyers.Carolina assistant coach Rod BrindAmour was back in Philadelphia on Thursday night as part of the Flyers celebration for the franchises 50-year anniversary.

Exaggerator, the winner of the Preakness Stakes and the only 3-year-old male to win three Grade 1 races this year, was officially retired on Monday and will stand at stud beginning next year at WinStar Farm in Versailles, Ky., it was announced by WinStar.The announcement was not a surprise, as Exaggerator had been taken out of training two weeks ago following a disappointing performance in the Pennsylvania Derby and had been taken to WinStar, which had taken over control of Exaggerators career.Exaggerator, a son of Curlin out of the Vindication mare Dawn Raid, also won the Santa Anita Derby and Haskell Invitational at Monmouth this year. He also finished second in the Kentucky Derby to Nyquist but was 11th in the Belmont Stakes. The Haskell was his last victory. He subsequently was 11th in the Travers Stakes and seventh in the Pennsylvania Derby.Last year at age 2, Exaggerator won the Saratoga Special and the Delta Jackpot.Exaggerator retires with six wins in 15 starts and earnings of $3,581,120. His five stakes wins, all graded stakes, came at five different racetracks.Exaggerator was purchased as a yearling by trainer Keith Desormeaux for Matt Bryans Big Chief Racing for $110,000. Bryan subsequently took on several parttners, including Rocker O Ranch and Head of Plains Partners.dddddddddddd Desormeaux trained Exaggerator, and his brother, Kent, was his regular rider.We could not be more excited to add another classic winner of the caliber of Exaggerator to the WinStar stallion roster, Elliott Walden, WinStars president and chief executive, said in a press release. He is a sound horse that passes all physical exams, but as the only 3-year-old to test all the Triple Crown races and summer classics, hes a horse that is asking us for a rest. The fact he remains sound after 15 big-time starts in the last 16 months is a testament to his ability, consistency, fortitude, and class. He is an extreme racehorse - a tough, durable throwback to the old days, like his sire, Curlin.A stud fee has yet to be announced.WinStar also campaigned Belmont Stakes winner Creator, who was retired last week and sold to the Japan Bloodhorse Breeders Association.Nyquist will stand at Darley America following his final start in the Breeders Cup Classic. As a result, none of the Triple Crown race winners from this year will race at age 4. ' ' '
