Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: Nets winner on power play
Rotowire
Blake scored the go-ahead goal in the third period of Wednesday's 4-3 win over the Rangers.
He took a feed from Jack Drury between the circles and beat Igor Shesterkin clean with a wrister by the blocker. It came on the power play. Blake has seven goals and two assists in 22 games in a fourth-line role, which limits his fantasy value even if he has two snipes in his last three games.

Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: Scores in shootout loss
Rotowire
Blake scored a goal on four shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.
Blake's goal in the second period put the Hurricanes up 4-3, but they squandered the lead late in the third. This was his second goal in the last five games. The 21-year-old rookie is up to six goals, two assists, 38 shots on net, 12 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 20 appearances. While's he impressed to begin his first full campaign, his chances are limited by a fourth-line role, so his utility in fantasy is limited to deep formats and dynasty leagues at this time.

Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: Power-play tally in win
Rotowire
Blake scored a power-play goal on two shots in Saturday's 4-0 win over the Senators.
Blake's goal stretched the Hurricanes' lead to 3-0 in the third period. The 21-year-old rookie is getting an opportunity on the top power-play unit while seeing fourth-line usage at even strength, so he's worth consideration in deeper formats. He snapped a four-game point drought with his first career power-play point, and he's now at five goals, two assists, 30 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 16 appearances this season.

Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: Scores again Tuesday
Rotowire
Blake scored a goal in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Flyers.
The goal was Blake's fourth point in the last five games, as the Hurricanes' fourth line got them on the board at 14:25 of the first period. The 21-year-old rookie has done well in a limited role with six points, 18 shots on net and a plus-2 rating over 11 appearances. He's picked up at least one shot on goal in all but one game so far, and he remains on the second power-play unit despite failing to record a point with that group.

Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: Tallies in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Blake scored a goal, blocked two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 8-2 win over the Bruins.
Blake tipped home a Dmitry Orlov shot at 17:52 of the first period as part of a stretch of three goals in 52 seconds for the Hurricanes. Blake has gotten on the scoresheet in three straight games (one goal, two assists). The 21-year-old rookie is up to five points, 16 shots on net, six PIM and a plus-1 rating through nine outings. He's averaged 10:48 of ice time, but he's firmly in a fourth-line role with the Hurricanes carrying just 12 healthy forwards.

Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: Snags assist in win
Rotowire
Blake produced an assist in Saturday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.
Blake set up a Jack Drury tally in the second period, which stood as the game-winner. Through seven contests, Blake has three points, 14 shots on net, six PIM and a minus-2 rating. The 21-year-old forward has held onto a fourth-line role so far and is likely to continue to do so since the Hurricanes are not carrying an extra forward on the roster.

Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: Back with big club
Rotowire
Blake was recalled from AHL Chicago on Sunday.
As expected, Blake's demotion to the minors was a temporary move. He has recorded two goals, 12 shots on net and one hit in four appearances with Carolina this season. Blake will likely occupy a fourth-line role and get time on the second power-play unit against Edmonton on Tuesday.

Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: Scores in back-to-back games
Rotowire
Blake scored a goal on three shots while adding four penalty minutes and a hit in Friday's 4-1 win over Pittsburgh.
Blake evened things up midway through the first period, roughly one minute after the Penguins opened the scoring via Drew O'Connor, and this was the youngster's second goal in as many outings. A fourth-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, Blake has two goals in four NHL appearances throughout his career, and while the small-sample size rule applies here, he's undoubtedly opening the season in a good run of form.

Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: Assigned to AHL
Rotowire
Blake was loaned to AHL Chicago on Monday.
Before turning pro, Blake produced 22 goals and 60 points in 40 games during his sophomore season with the University of North Dakota in 2023-24. He logged 15:18 of ice time against Columbus on April 16 during his NHL debut, posting two shots on goal and a minus-2 rating. Blake should see plenty of ice time in the minors this campaign and could be a call-up option for the Hurricanes at some point.
