  • Hurricanes' Ty Smith: Dropped to AHL

    Smith was assigned to AHL Chicago on Monday.

    Smith was a healthy scratch for the last two games. He has one goal, one assist, 14 shots on net and five blocked shots in eight NHL outings this season. Carolina might recall Smith before Wednesday's matchup against Boston to provide some defensive depth.

  • Hurricanes' William Carrier: No update on timeline

    Carrier (lower body) didn't participate in Sunday's practice and still has no timeline for his return to the lineup, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Carrier has already missed the last seven games and doesn't appear close to being an option for the Hurricanes. He has contributed four goals, nine points, 42 shots on net, 11 blocked shots and 136 hits through 39 appearances this season. During Carrier's absence, Juha Jaaska has occupied a bottom-six spot in the lineup.

  • Hurricanes' Tyson Jost: Return not imminent

    Jost (lower body) skated with the team Sunday but will still be out indefinitely, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    While it's encouraging to see Jost back on the ice, the forward wasn't a full participant in practice, per Ruff, and Jost remains without a timeline for his return. Jost has appeared in 16 games in a bottom-six role with Carolina this year, scoring a pair of goals.

  • Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Pockets helper in win

    Orlov logged an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

    Orlov has four helpers over his last seven outings. The 33-year-old defenseman helped out on a Jackson Blake tally in the third period of this contest. Overall, Orlov has 21 points, 75 shots on net, 62 hits, 33 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating through 46 appearances. He's five points shy of matching his output from the 2023-24 regular season.

  • Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Offers assist in win

    Slavin logged an assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

    Slavin has earned five points over nine outings in January, matching November as his most productive month of the season so far. The 30-year-old defenseman is a little behind his usual pace with 15 points through 46 appearances, which would put him at risk of missing the 30-point mark for the second time in three seasons. He's added 56 shots on net, 73 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating in his usual top-pairing role.

  • Hurricanes' Jordan Staal: Picks up helper in win

    Staal logged an assist, four hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

    Following a stretch of five goals and three assists over four games from Jan. 5-10, he was held off the scoresheet in the previous two contests. The Hurricanes shuffled their lines for this game, and Staal was able to set up the second of Seth Jarvis' tallies, which came at 6:09 of the third period. Staal is up to 24 points, 63 shots on net, 79 hits and a plus-11 rating over 46 appearances. The center has a chance to reach the 40-point mark for the first time since 2017-18, though he would have to sustain a decent portion of his recent success on offense.

  • Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Manages helper in win

    Svechnikov posted an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Friday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

    Svechnikov got on the scoresheet for the seventh time in nine games. He has three goals and four helpers over those contests, an improvement on the end of December when he was limited to two points in a 10-game stretch. Svechnikov now has 15 tallies, 18 helpers, 129 shots on net, 92 hits and a minus-3 rating over 46 appearances.

  • Hurricanes' Jordan Martinook: Supplies two helpers in win

    Martinook notched two assists and went plus-2 in Friday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

    Martinook has five helpers over his last 12 outings, though they've come in just two of those games. He helped out on both of Seth Jarvis' tallies in Friday's win. Martinook is up to 22 points, 71 shots on net, 55 hits, 31 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating over 46 appearances. He's still on pace for a career year, but the winger will need to show a little more consistency to become a reliable depth option in fantasy.

  • Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: Scores after promotion to top line

    Blake scored a goal on two shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

    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. The 21-year-old rookie has 10 goals, four assists, 65 shots on net and 20 PIM over 46 appearances. He'll be worth a look in deeper fantasy formats as long as he remains on the top line, though his 14:06 of ice time Friday suggests his role won't dramatically increase right away.

  • Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis: Pots pair of goals

    Jarvis scored two goals, blocked three shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

    A lineup shuffle returned Jarvis to the third line alongside Jordan Staal and Jordan Martinook. That line was the Hurricanes' best in the contest. Jarvis is having a strong January with six goals and two assists over nine outings this month. For the season, the 22-year-old is at 15 goals, 33 points, 104 shots on net, 59 hits, 29 blocked shots and a minus-3 rating over 39 appearances.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Secures win over Vegas

    Kochetkov stopped 29 of 31 shots in Friday's 3-2 win over the Golden Knights.

    Vegas scored the first and last goals of the game, but the Hurricanes had the three tallies in between to give Kochetkov enough support for the win. The 25-year-old has won just three of his last eight starts while giving up 22 goals in that span, and his margin of error is thinner now that Frederik Andersen (knee) is back from a nearly three-month absence. Kochetkov is up to 17-9-2 with a 2.52 GAA and a .902 save percentage through 29 starts this season, but he may get stuck in a 50-50 timeshare moving forward.

  • Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Expected to start Friday

    Kochetkov is slated to start in Friday's home tilt against Vegas.

    Kochetkov has allowed three goals in each of his past four appearances while posting a 1-2-1 record and an .893 save percentage in that span. He's 16-9-2 with a 2.54 GAA and a .901 save percentage in 28 outings overall. Frederik Andersen (knee) was activated off injured reserve and is expected to serve as the backup netminder. Beyond that, Andersen's return will likely result in Kochetkov's workload diminishing meaningfully. A strong showing against Vegas might help Kochetkov stave that off for at least a little longer, but the Golden Knights rank fourth in goals per game with 3.41, so they're a challenging adversary.

  • Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Activated from injured reserve

    Andersen (knee) was activated from injured reserve Friday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

    Andersen participated in the morning skate and is expected to be the backup goaltender versus Buffalo on Friday, as Pyotr Kochetkov is slated to start. Andersen is 3-1-0 with a 1.49 GAA and a .941 save percentage across four appearances this season. The Hurricanes sent Dustin Tokarski to AHL Chicago in a corresponding move.

  • Hurricanes' Dustin Tokarski: Returned to minors

    Tokarski was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Friday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Tokarski will head back to the minors now that Frederik Andersen (knee) has been activated off injured reserve. During his NHL stint, the 35-year-old Tokarski went 4-2-0 with a 2.18 GAA, .902 save percentage and one shutout. At this point, Tokarski figures to spend the rest of the campaign with the Wolves but will be brought back up should an injury need arise.

  • Hurricanes' William Carrier: Seeking another medical opinion

    Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Thursday that Carrier is looking for another opinion on his lower-body injury, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Carrier has missed the last six games, and it certainly doesn't look like he is close to returning to action. The defenseman has four goals, five assists and 136 hits across 39 appearances this season.

  • Hurricanes' Jesperi Kotkaniemi: Gathers helper

    Kotkaniemi notched an assist and two shots on goal in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.

    Kotkaniemi helped out on a Jaccob Slavin tally in the third period. The assist snapped a six-game slump for Kotkaniemi, who continues to be inconsistent on offense while logging middle-six minutes for the Hurricanes. The 24-year-old has six goals, 13 assists, 72 shots on net, 41 hits, 28 PIM and a plus-4 rating across 45 outings this season. His sporadic production makes him tough to roster over long stretches in fantasy.

  • Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Logs assist in loss

    Gostisbehere produced an assist, five shots on goal and two blocked shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres.

    This was Gostisbehere's second game back after missing eight contests due to an upper-body injury. The 31-year-old has immediately resumed his role on the top power-play unit, but he also remains on the third pairing at even strength. His helper snapped a five-game slump, and the defenseman is now at 28 points (18 on the power play), 74 shots on net, 32 blocked shots, 30 hits and a minus-5 rating through 37 appearances this season.
