Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Won't play Thursday
Rotowire
Slavin (upper body) will not be in the lineup versus the Ducks on Thursday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Slavin has played in just five games this season in which he failed to register a point. At this point, the Denver native appears to be close to getting back into the lineup but will have to wait until at least Saturday's matchup with Seattle. Once Slavin is given the green light, he likely will replace Alexander Nikishin or Joel Nystrom on the blue line.
Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Awaiting medical clearance
Rotowire
Slavin (upper body) is still waiting on medical clearance ahead of Thursday's clash with the Ducks, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.
Slavin was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. However, head coach Rod Brind'Amour didn't offer any clarity regarding Slavin's availability versus Anaheim, a situation complicated further by the team's decision not to hold a morning skate Thursday. Still, in order for the veteran defenseman to suit up, he will need to be activated off injured reserve. Once that happens, fantasy managers can expect Slavin back in the lineup.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Adds goal in big win
Rotowire
Carrier scored a goal, put three shots on net, served four PIM and had four hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.
Carrier tallied the lone goal of the third period for Carolina in response to the Stars' tally at the start of the period. With the twine finder, he is up to four goals, nine points, 42 shots on net and 89 hits through 36 outings this season. While his blend of stats might not warrant consideration in fantasy outside of deep leagues that value banger stats, his impact on the Canes' fourth line has been solid. He is just two points shy of matching his total of 11 during his first season with the Hurricanes, giving him plenty of time down the stretch to surpass that total and push for the third 20-plus point, 100-plus hit season of his career.

Hurricanes' Nikolaj Ehlers: Grabs three apples Tuesday
Rotowire
Ehlers recorded three assists in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Stars.
Ehlers played a hand in each of the last three goals scored by Carolina to help close out the big win. With the trio of helpers, he is up to 23 assists, 34 points and 102 shots on net through 43 games this season. The 29-year-old winger has built up a four-game point streak that features three goals and five assists. The Hurricanes' top line has been the most efficient point-scoring line since Dec. 17, with Ehlers, Sebastian Aho and Andrei Svechnikov combining for 46 points. Not only does Ehlers hold 60-plus point potential this season, but he has a solid chance to set a new career high in points if he can surpass the 64 total he posted in 82 regular-season games with Winnipeg during the 2016-17 campaign.

Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Puts on playmaking clinic
Rotowire
Svechnikov tallied four assists, including one on a power play, placed two shots on net and dished out four hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.
Svechnikov's offensive hot streak continued Tuesday as he distributed an assist on two-thirds of the team's six goals. He assisted both of K'Andre Miller's tallies as well as the power-play goals scored by Shayne Gostisbehere and Seth Jarvis. Overall, the 25-year-old Svechnikov is up to 23 assists, 35 points, 121 shots on net and 72 hits through 43 games this season. Since Dec. 17, he has 17 points in 11 outings, tying him with linemate Sebastian Aho for the third-most points across the league in that span. Svechnikov is well on his way to a bounce-back campaign in most significant stat categories while skating in a major role on Carolina's top line. The third 60-plus point season of his eight-year NHL career could be in play at his current pace.

Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis: Tallies pair of points in return
Rotowire
Jarvis tallied a power-play goal, dished out a power-play assist, fired six shots on net and recorded four hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Stars.
In his return from a rib injury that has kept him sidelined since Dec. 20, Jarvis showcased the fire that likely was lit under him after not being selected for Team Canada's roster ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympic Games. Overall, the 23-year-old rising star is up to 20 goals, 11 assists, 116 shots on net and 47 hits through 35 games this season. With there being a decent chance that Jarvis can join Team Canada as a potential injury replacement, he will likely put forth everything he has at the NHL level in hopes of impressing the coaching staff. Regardless of his chase to be an Olympian, he remains on a strong enough pace to reach the 60-plus point mark for the third consecutive season despite missing over two weeks.

Hurricanes' Logan Stankoven: Nets goal in revenge game
Rotowire
Stankoven netted a goal in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.
Stankoven landed a jab against his former team with a goal near the end of the first period to put Carolina up 3-1. Following Tuesday's twine finder, he now has eight goals, 19 points and 90 shots on net through 43 appearances this season. After a five-game scoreless streak that took him from the end of the calendar year into 2026, the 22-year-old forward has a three-game point spree that features two goals. While he's just behind the necessary point pace to reach his total from a season ago, his growth potential, steady amount of power-play time and decent shot volume are all reasons to keep an eye on him in deep fantasy leagues in the second half of the campaign.

Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Finds twine on power play
Rotowire
Gostisbehere scored a power-play goal, placed four shots on net and recorded three blocks in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Stars.
Gostisbehere found the back of the net with a man advantage just under 14 minutes into the opening period. With the twine finder, he is up to five goals, 30 points, 55 shots on net and 35 blocks over 31 games this season. Nearly a point-per-game player this season, Gostisbehere checks many boxes in fantasy and should continue to see work in Carolina's top four.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Dominates early with three points
Rotowire
Miller scored two goals, distributed an assist and put two shots on net in Tuesday's 6-3 win over Dallas.
Miller caught fire in the early stages of Tuesday's contest. He scored the opening goal nearly seven minutes into the first period before grabbing the primary helper on Logan Stankoven's goal later on. Just five minutes after the start of the second, Miller lit the lamp again to secure his second multi-goal game of the season. Overall, the 25-year-old blueliner has four goals, 15 assists, 59 shots on net, 47 hits and 36 blocks through 35 games this campaign. He now has six points in as many games and is above the pace needed for the third 30-plus point effort of his career. Miller's move to Carolina has rejuvenated his offensive prowess, giving him a point ceiling near his career high of 43 across 79 regular-season games in 2022-23. This fact, combined with his solid package of category-coverage stats, makes him a solid fantasy option in nearly all league formats.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Allows three goals in win
Rotowire
Bussi turned aside 19 of 22 shots on net in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Stars.
Bussi allowed just one power-play goal in the first period before Carolina's offense put the game out of reach for Dallas. The Stars didn't score again until the third. With the win, Bussi has a 15-2-1 record with a 2.25 GAA and a .906 save percentage through 18 appearances this season. After losing on New Year's Day, the 27-year-old netminder has won back-to-back starts, which has moved him into a tie for 10th across the league in wins. With Pyotr Kochetkov (hip) out for the season and Frederik Andersen struggling to find the win column, Bussi is a must-start player in nearly all fantasy formats and should command the bulk of starts for Carolina moving forward.

Hurricanes' Noah Philp: Gets dinged up Tuesday
Rotowire
Philp sustained an undisclosed injury Tuesday versus the Stars, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.
Philp was reportedly dinged up in the second period and couldn't finish the contest. The 27-year-old forward was in just his second game for the Hurricanes since they claimed him off waivers from the Oilers. Philp can be considered day-to-day leading up to Thursday's game versus the Ducks.
Bussi will protect the home goal versus the Stars on Tuesday, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.
Bussi picked up a win over the Devils on Sunday, stopping 28 of 29 shots to bounce back from his worst outing of the season. The 27-year-old is 14-2-1 this season, including three wins in his last four games. The Stars enter this matchup on an 0-2-3 skid, in which they've scored 13 goals.

Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis: Good to go Tuesday
Rotowire
Jarvis (ribs) will suit up for Tuesday's home contest against the Stars, according to Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News.
Jarvis landed on injured reserve shortly after getting injured and missed the last eight games as a result. The right-shot winger worked in a third-line capacity with Jordan Staal and Jordan Martinook at Tuesday's morning skate. Jarvis should eventually slide back into a top-six role, but for now, he'll skate on more of a defensive line while receiving power-play time.

Hurricanes' Juuso Valimaki: Dealt to Carolina
Rotowire
Valimaki was traded to the Hurricanes from the Mammoth on Monday in exchange for future considerations, Stephen Whyno of the Associated Press reports.
Valimaki has not appeared in an NHL game since last season. The 27-year-old contributed one goal, three points and a plus-6 rating across three appearances with AHL Tucson in 2025-26, as he missed a large chunk of the season while recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL. Valimaki will now provide organizational depth for the Hurricanes and report to AHL Chicago.
Hurricanes' Logan Stankoven: Lights lamp in Sunday's win
Rotowire
Stankoven scored a goal on four shots and added four PIM in Sunday's 3-1 win over the Devils.
Stankoven had gone 11 games without a goal, picking up three assists in that span. The 22-year-old had the last tally in Sunday's contest to snap the drought. For the season, he's up to seven goals, 18 points, 89 shots on net, 23 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 42 appearances. Stankoven remains in a middle-six role, but he hasn't improved his offense from his totals of 14 goals and 24 assists over 78 regular-season outings in 2024-25.
