The former North Dakota star, who played 40 games in college last season, is approaching 50 in his first pro season.

Blake scored a goal on two shots, added an assist and logged two PIM in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jackets.

JACKSON, MI - A Jackson man won’t be free from prison until he is at least 93 years old, a judge and assistant prosecutor said Wednesday. Blake Curran, 32, was sentenced Wednesday to at least 675 months - just over 56 years - in prison for the 2020 shooting death of Darold Goodloe Jr.

After a blockbuster trade late Friday, Mikko Rantanen and Taylor Hall made their Carolina Hurricanes debuts in the team’s overtime road loss at the New York Islanders.

The sentence is for an incident in Jackson on June 28, 2020, that resulted in the death of Darold Goodloe. Curran was on parole at the time of the incident.

Blake has been on the fourth line for much of the season, but he moved up to play alongside Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov at even strength in this contest. The move paid off, as Blake scored for just the second time in 10 games when he put the Hurricanes ahead 2-1 early in the third period.

Seth Jarvis had two goals and two assists and Sebastian Aho added a goal and two assists as the Carolina Hurricanes scored five goals in the second period and beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 7-4.

The Carolina Hurricanes had a big shakeup to their roster last night, adding superstar winger Mikko Rantanen and forward Taylor Hall in exchange for Martin Necas and Jack Drury. The two forward made their way to New York today and are in the lineup for the Canes' 7:30 game against the New York Islanders.

The 22-year-old suspect in the Jan. 21 Slim Chickens shooting that left one dead was arraigned in Jackson City Court on Friday and will be held without bond
