Byfield produced a goal and an assist in Saturday's 7-2 rout of the Hurricanes.

It was Byfield's first multi-point performance since Feb. 24, but he's been lighting the lamp with frequency in March -- over the last nine games he has seven goals, but only one helper.

He has two goals and one assist in his last two outings, giving him nine tallies and 16 points through 40 games this season. Brodzinski has two multi-goal efforts in 2024-25 after having none in his previous eight NHL campaigns.

Jarvis sustained an undisclosed injury Saturday versus Los Angeles and won't return to the game.

Jarvis appeared to slam his head into the boards, per Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News. He went into Saturday's match with 27 goals and 52 points in 61 appearances in 2024-25. Andrei Svechnikov (upper body), Jordan Staal (lower body) and Shayne Gostisbehere (illness) were all unavailable Saturday, reducing the Hurricanes' healthy options to just 12 forwards and six defensemen. However, Jarvis could be available to play against Anaheim on Sunday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Dickinson logged 3:55 of ice time over six shifts before exiting the match. He has seven goals and 16 points in 59 appearances in 2024-25. If Dickinson can't play Sunday versus Philadelphia, then Philipp Kurashev will probably draw back into the lineup.

Lafferty sustained a groin injury during Saturday's 4-1 loss to Minnesota.

Lafferty had a shot and two hits in 7:33 of ice time Saturday. Coach Lindy Ruff said there's a good chance Lafferty won't play Sunday versus Winnipeg. If that's the case, then Lafferty's next opportunity to return would be Tuesday versus Ottawa.
