Jaaska notched an assist in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.
The helper was Jaaska's first point in four NHL appearances. The 26-year-old forward is filling a fourth-line role while Tyson Jost (lower body) and William Carrier (lower body) are sidelined. Jaaska has shown a scoring touch with 16 points over 26 AHL appearances, but his ice time is likely to be too limited with the Hurricanes to make him much of a factor in fantasy.

Hurricanes' Juha Jaaska: Headed back to minors

Jaaska made his NHL debut versus the Panthers on Thursday, registering three hits in 8:21 of ice time. It seemed like the 26-year-old winger might stick around for a bit in light of Tyson Jost's undisclosed injury, but it seems the return of Jack Drury (hand) will relegate Jaaska back to the minors.

Hurricanes' Juha Jaaska: Joins big club
Rotowire
Jaaska was called up from AHL Chicago on Wednesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
The fact the Hurricanes made a move for a forward means Tyson Jost (undisclosed) is likely to miss at least one game after getting hurt Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets. Jaaska has done well in his first taste of North American hockey, picking up 16 points over 25 appearances with the Wolves. The 26-year-old forward is likely to slot into a fourth-line role for Thursday's game versus Panthers.
