Carson impressed the NHL coaches during the Canes' training camp in September, but was sidelined early in the season with a broken wrist. His performance in Albany, both before and after the injury, has been nearly flawless.
Carson has developed tremendously over the past year and provides a unique combination of offensive and defensive awareness, putting him in the running for a permanent spot in the NHL, either this year of the next.
In 14 games with the Rats this season, Carson has three goals, eight assists and a plus-4 rating.
The dependable blueliner is a core member of the AHL squad and will be sorely missed.
Carson joins Jay Harrison, who was recalled to Carolina earlier on Sunday.
Hurricanes' defenseman Joe Corvo was sidelined with a severe laceration to his leg and achilles tendon on November 30th.
