  • Kraken's Andrew Poturalski: Back in NHL

    Poturalski was summoned from AHL Coachella Valley on Monday, according to Sound of Hockey.

    Poturalski could be a potential replacement for Brandon Tanev (lower body), who didn't practice Saturday after leaving Friday's 5-1 loss to Vancouver. Oliver Bjorkstrand (undisclosed) was also unable to finish Friday's contest. Poturalski has not played in the NHL since the 2021-22 campaign, when he had two assists and four shots on goal with the Hurricanes over two games.

  • Kraken's Andrew Poturalski: Brought up from AHL

    Poturalski was summoned from AHL Coachella Valley on Tuesday.

    Poturalski has produced two goals and seven points in 10 AHL contests this campaign. In corresponding moves, the Kraken sent down forwards Ryan Winterton and Shane Wright. That makes Poturalski an option to play in Wednesday's contest against Edmonton.

  • Kraken's Andrew Poturalski: Waived Thursday

    Poturalski was placed on waivers by the Kraken on Thursday, Chris Johnston of TSN reports.

    Poturalski has played four career NHL games, picking up a pair of assists in two games with the Hurricanes during the 2021-22 campaign. The 29-year-old should play at AHL Coachella Valley, should he pass through waivers.

  • Kraken's Andrew Poturalski: Back earlier than expected

    Poturalski (lower body) played in AHL Coachella Valley's 3-2 triple-overtime win over Calgary on Monday.

    Poturalski had two PIM and four shots on goal in his first game action in three months. The 29-year-old was initially expected to miss 4-to-6 months after undergoing surgery in February, but he was able to return early and will look to contribute during the Firebirds' AHL playoff run.

  • Kraken's Andrew Poturalski: Done for season

    Poturalski (lower body) underwent surgery Thursday and will be out 4-to-6 months.

    Poturalski has been one of the AHL's best forwards over the last couple of seasons. He'll end his first campaign with AHL Coachella Valley having racked up 42 points in 38 contests, though he didn't receive a call-up to Seattle during the season. He is under contract for next season with the Kraken on a one-way deal.

  • Kraken's Andrew Poturalski: Waived Sunday

    Poturalski was waived by Seattle on Sunday, CapFriendly reports.

    Poturalski dominated the AHL level last season, racking up 28 goals and 101 points in 71 games. He could see some time with the Kraken this season as an injury replacement.

  • Kraken's Andrew Poturalski: Signs one-way contract

    Poturalski signed a two-year, one-way contract with the Kraken on Wednesday.

    Poturalski led the AHL in scoring in 2021-22, racking up an impressive 28 goals and 101 points through 71 games with the Chicago Wolves. The 28-year-old forward should get every opportunity to make Seattle's Opening Night roster out of training camp.

  • Hurricanes' Andrew Poturalski: Shipped back to AHL

    Poturalski was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Sunday.

    Poturalski recorded an assist in each game he was up with the Hurricanes on Thursday (vs. Detroit) and Saturday (vs. Los Angeles). It's not surprising that he hit the scoresheet at the top level considering the 27-year-old is the current AHL scoring leader with 34 points in 23 games.

  • Hurricanes' Andrew Poturalski: Collects first NHL point

    Poturalski picked up a power-play assist in Thursday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.

    Playing in only his third career NHL game and first since 2016-17, the 27-year-old recorded his first career point on the night's opening tally, as his blast from the top of the faceoff circle got stopped by Alex Nedeljkovic only for Nino Niederreiter to bang home the rebound. Poturalski was an emergency call-up due to a wave of absences in Carolina's forward ranks due to COVID-19, but he was leading the team's AHL affiliate in scoring at the time of his promotion. If he sees consistent power-play time, he could have some short-term fantasy value despite his skimpy resume at the top level.

  • Hurricanes' Andrew Poturalski: Assigned to AHL affiliate

    Poturalski was reassigned to AHL Charlotte on Wednesday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

    The 27-year-old has recorded 22 assists and 12 goals through 23 AHL contests this season. He will be poised to bounce back up to the NHL if his excellent production continues in the minors.

  • Hurricanes' Andrew Poturalski: Elevated to big stage

    Poturalski will join the Hurricanes as an emergency recall ahead of Thursday's game against the Red Wings.

    Poturalski pauses his AHL campaign with the Wolves as the points leader of that minor-league squad by a wide margin. He's dialed in 12 goals -- including six on the power play -- and 22 assists through 23 games. While he's a fine depth option for the parent club, Poturalski is 27 years old and he's long since exhausted his NHL prospect status. A native of New York, Poturalski made his debut with the Hurricanes in 2016-17, but he hasn't appeared in a top-level game since then. Still, he might be needed Thursday since several Hurricanes forwards are either injured or in COVID-19 protocol.

  • Hurricanes' Andrew Poturalski: Promoted to top level

    Poturalski was recalled by Carolina on Tuesday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

    Poturalski has been exceptional in the minors this season, leading the AHL in scoring with 12 goals and 34 points through 23 contests. The 27-year-old forward could crack the Hurricanes' lineup as soon as Tuesday versus Minnesota.

  • Hurricanes' Andrew Poturalski: Waived by Canes

    Poturalski was placed on waivers Saturday, TVA Sports' Renaud Lavoie reports.

    Poturalski is likely headed to the Canes' AHL affiliate, assuming he clears waivers. He had an impressive 43 points in 44 games last season at AHL San Diego, so he might be one of the first guys in line for a callup if the Canes run into injury trouble this season.

  • Hurricanes' Andrew Poturalski: Grabs one-year deal

    Poturalski agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way pact with Carolina on Wednesday.

    Poturalski is coming off a phenomenal 2020-21 season in the minors, as he racked up 43 points in 44 games for AHL San Diego. The 27-year-old center's only NHL experience came back in 2016-17 during a previous stint with Carolina. If he can bring that scoring touch with him to the NHL, the New York native should be capable of breaking into the Canes' lineup this season.

  • Ducks' Andrew Poturalski: On waivers list

    Poturalski was placed on waivers Friday, James Mirtle of The Athletic reports.

    Poturalski has just two games of NHL experience under his belt which he logged back in 2016-17 with the Hurricanes. He's been moderately successful for AHL San Diego, where he had seven points in 17 contests before losing time to injuries last year. The undrafted forward is a long shot to see any NHL time in 2020-21.
