• Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Fills empty cage

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  Orlov scored an empty-net goal in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kraken. Orlov put the finishing touch on the Hurricanes' third straight win. The 33-year-old defenseman has filled a bottom-four role with three points, nine shots on net, 14 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through seven appearances. He offers decent production across the board, excluding the power play, so Orlov could be a fantasy option in deep formats.

• Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Adds helper Tuesday

  10/16/2024 • By RotoWire

  Orlov logged an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Devils. Orlov has been listed on the third pairing to begin the season, but his ice time is more in line with a top-four defenseman. The 33-year-old offers shutdown potential, but it comes with little in the way of offense. Orlov was limited to 26 points in 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24, and he added 116 hits, 60 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating last season.

• Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Has bad turnover in loss

  05/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  Orlov supplied a secondary assist in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 6. Orlov got on the board by helping out on a Martin Necas first-period tally that opened the scoring. It was the fifth time in six games this series that Orlov registered at least one point. The Russian defenseman also had one shot on goal and six blocks with a minus-1 rating in 19:01 of ice time. Unfortunately for the 32-year-old, he had an egregious turnover in which he failed to clear the defensive zone -- it led directly to a New York goal shortly after Carolina garnered a 2-0 lead early in the second period. Orlov finished the postseason with two goals and four assists in 11 contests.

• Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: On three-game scoring streak

  05/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Orlov registered an assist in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3 on Thursday. Orlov extended his point streak to three games, giving him a goal and two assists in that span, though his turnover in overtime ended up costing his team the game. He's up to four points (two markers) in eight playoff outings this year after finishing the regular season with six goals and 26 points across 82 appearances. Orlov is serving primarily on the third pairing and is seldom used on the power play, but he's getting plenty of work despite that unglamorous assignment -- Orlov has averaged 21:18 of ice time during the postseason.
