Hurricanes' Brendan Lemieux: Waived Wednesday
Lemieux (undisclosed) was waived by Carolina on Wednesday, per James Mirtle of The Athletic.
Lemieux would need to be ready to play in order to be placed on waivers, so he's presumably over his undisclosed injury. He missed the Hurricanes' opening two contests of 2024-25 because he was hurt. The 28-year-old forward had three goals, five points, 64 PIM and 71 hits in 32 regular-season outings with Carolina in 2023-24, but if he clears waivers, then Lemieux will probably head to the minors.

Hurricanes' Brendan Lemieux: Battling injury
Lemieux is dealing with an undisclosed injury and is "going to be out a while," head coach Rod Brind'Amour told Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal on Wednesday.
Lemieux recorded three goals, five points, 64 PIM and 71 hits in 32 regular-season games in 2023-24. He's not always in the lineup when he's healthy, but his absence does increase the chances of Jackson Blake, who was called up from AHL Chicago on Tuesday, seeing some work on the fourth line.

Hurricanes' Brendan Lemieux: Rare two-point showing
Lemieux notched a goal and an assist in Sunday's 7-2 win over Ottawa.
Lemieux set up Dmitry Orlov on a breakaway for the opening goal midway through the first period before adding a tally of his own in the third, deflecting a Brent Burns shot to extend Carolina's lead to 7-2. It's the first multi-point effort of the season for Lemieux, whose last goal was Nov. 28 versus the Flyers. He now has three goals and five points through 27 games this season while frequently serving as a healthy scratch -- a role he'll likely return to when Jack Drury (lower body) and Teuvo Teravainen (upper body) are both healthy.

Hurricanes' Brendan Lemieux: Inks one-year extension
Lemieux signed a one-year, $775,000 contract extension with Carolina on Monday.
Lemieux has two goals, one assist, 55 PIM and 58 hits in 25 appearances with the Hurricanes this season. He has mostly served as a depth option this campaign, which will likely be the case again in 2024-25.

Hurricanes' Brendan Lemieux: On waivers
Lemieux was placed on waivers Thursday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.
Lemieux might have been waived just to give Carolina more roster flexibility ahead of Friday's trade deadline. However, given that he hasn't been in the lineup since Feb. 8, it also wouldn't be shocking to see the Hurricanes reassign him to the AHL if he passes through waivers unclaimed. Lemieux has two goals, three points, 50 PIM and 53 hits in 23 outings with the Hurricanes this season.

Hurricanes' Brendan Lemieux: Receives misconduct penalty
Lemieux was handed a 10-minute misconduct penalty at the end of Thursday's clash with Colorado.
It was the third misconduct penalty of the season for Lemieux, who has racked up a combined 50 PIM in 23 games this year. Offensively, the 27-year-old winger has tallied just two goals and one assist while averaging 7:41 of ice time. As a result, Lemieux figures to remain a relative non-factor in fantasy contests.

Hurricanes' Brendan Lemieux: Watching from press box
Lemieux has missed the past seven games as a healthy scratch.
Lemieux typically serves more of a physical presence in the lineup when needed, and that hasn't been often so far this season. The 27-year-old winger hasn't dressed for more than 63 games in a season, and he's likely to finish well short of that mark in 2023-24 barring a rash of injuries up front for Carolina.

Hurricanes' Brendan Lemieux: Scores against former team
Lemieux scored a goal on two shots and added two hits in Saturday's 6-5 shootout win over the Kings.
Lemieux tallied in the second period to put the Hurricanes ahead 4-1. As a member of the Kings, the winger had 10 goals and 10 assists across 108 contests over parts of three seasons. Saturday marked his season debut -- the 27-year-old remains on the fringe of the Hurricanes' roster. They're only carrying one additional skater, so Lemieux appears to be in competition with defenseman Jalen Chatfield for playing time, and it may come down to what kind of lineup head coach Rod Brind'Amour prefers from game to game.

Lemieux has registered three assists, 22 shots on goal, 79 hits and 53 PIM in 27 appearances this season. He should occupy a fourth-line spot with the Flyers for the remainder of the year. Lemiuex is eligible for unrestricted free agency in the summer.

Kings' Brendan Lemieux: Has 18 hits in last four games
Lemieux has 12 PIM and 18 hits in four games since returning from a lower-body injury.
Lemieux's up to 46 PIM and 63 hits in 21 contests this season. He has no goals and only three assists in 2022-23 though, and Lemieux's been held off the scoresheet in his last 13 outings. The 26-year-old isn't expected to make significant offensive contributions going forward, especially given that he's averaged just 8:48 of ice time this season, but he still should continue to get plenty of hits and PIM.
