Jarvis sustained an apparent upper-body injury in Friday's game versus the Panthers that head coach Rod Brind'Amour deemed "not good," and Jarvis is expected to miss some time, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Jarvis crashed into the post during overtime and appeared to be favoring his arm as he left the game. He had two assists in the contest and is now at 29 points through 34 appearances. This is a big loss for the Hurricanes, who don't have an extra forward on the roster. Fantasy managers will need to pivot to other options during Jarvis' absence.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: In goal Friday
Rotowire
Bussi will guard the road goal versus the Panthers on Friday, David Dwork of The Hockey News reports.
Bussi has won nine straight outings and 11 out of 12 appearances this season. He's allowed no more than three goals in any of his last seven outings. The Panthers have found a groove recently, scoring 22 goals over their last six games while going 5-1-0 in that span.

Hurricanes' Jordan Martinook: Not playing Friday
Rotowire
Martinook (lower body) is considered day-to-day and has been ruled out of Friday's tilt in Florida, per Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News.
Martinook was injured Wednesday against Nashville, playing only 5:44 before leaving the contest. Martinook has only two goals and four points in his last 22 appearances after starting the season with two goals and five helpers in his first 11 games. Look for Jesperi Kotkaniemi to enter the lineup in place of Martinook.
Reilly was scratched for the ninth time in 11 games in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
This situation likely would have been the reality from the get-go for Reilly had the Hurricanes enjoyed better health on the blue line earlier in the year. Now that everyone, aside from Charles-Alexis Legault (hand), is healthy, Reilly is stuck in the press box most of the time as a seventh defenseman. The Hurricanes regularly have five veterans on defense, along with prized rookie Alexander Nikishin, so Reilly may be spending a lot of time waiting for his next opportunity if everyone stays healthy. Reilly has five points, 23 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating over 21 appearances this season.

Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Contributes two assists in win
Rotowire
Svechnikov notched two assists, including one on the power play, added three shots on net and doled out two hits in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Svechnikov has six helpers over his last six games after assisting on both of Sebastian Aho's goals in this contest. The 25-year-old Svechnikov is stuck in a 12-game goal drought, but he's put up eight helpers and 32 shots on net in that span, so he's still doing the right things. The winger is up to 20 points (seven on the power play), 92 shots, 48 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-2 rating across 33 outings this season.

Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis: Tallies in Wednesday's win
Rotowire
Jarvis scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Jarvis has been limited to three goals over his last five games, though that's still decent production. The 23-year-old forward is up to 19 goals, 27 points, 106 shots on net, 42 hits and a plus-1 rating across 33 appearances. With Sebastian Aho getting a three-point effort Wednesday, the engine of the Hurricanes' offense should be fired up again, and Jarvis should be in a good position as Aho's linemate to get back to dominant performances.

Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: One of each Wednesday
Rotowire
Blake scored a goal on four shots and added a power-play assist in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Blake's last two multi-point efforts have both come against Nashville, but he has been limited to just one assist in 11 outings against other opponents since Nov. 21. The 22-year-old opened the scoring Wednesday and added a primary helper on Sebastian Aho's power-play tally in the third period, which was the game-winner. For the season, Blake is at nine goals, 12 helpers, 74 shots on net, 24 PIM and a plus-3 rating across 33 outings. He's on pace to easily surpass the 34-point performance he had in 80 regular-season contests as a rookie last year.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Racks up three points in win
Rotowire
Aho scored twice on four shots, added an assist and logged two PIM in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Aho snapped a five-game point drought with this effort. He potted the eventual game-winner on the power play 2:43 into the third period, then set up a Seth Jarvis goal before adding an empty-netter himself. Aho is usually among the Hurricanes' most consistent forwards -- he rarely has a drought as long as his most recent one. None of his slumps in 2024-25 were longer than three games. The center is at 11 goals, 29 points (seven on the power play), 81 shots on net, 28 hits and a plus-5 rating across 33 appearances.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Steady in win
Rotowire
Kochetkov stopped 25 of 26 shots in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Predators.
Kochetkov has gone 2-1-0 with seven goals allowed on 66 shots over three games since he returned from a lower-body injury. The 26-year-old netminder never faced a deficit in this contest, but it was close until the Hurricanes' offense took charge early in the third period. Kochetkov is up to 6-1-0 on the year with a 1.95 GAA and a .913 save percentage over eight appearances. The Hurricanes have mostly been working with Kochetkov and Brandon Bussi over the last week. However, Frederik Andersen is around if either of the other two goalies sees a drop in performance. Kochetkov should be a candidate to start at least once in the team's upcoming back-to-back that features road games versus the Panthers on Friday and the Lightning on Saturday.
Hurricanes' Jordan Martinook: Sustains lower-body injury
Rotowire
Martinook (lower body) won't return to Wednesday's game versus the Predators.
Martinook's injury wasn't initially obvious, but it's apparently enough to keep him out of at least the rest of this contest. Should he miss additional time, Jesperi Kotkaniemi would likely reenter the lineup in a bottom-six role. The Hurricanes' next game is Friday versus the Panthers in the first half of a back-to-back.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Set to start Wednesday
Rotowire
Kochetkov is slated to start Wednesday's road game against Nashville, Hurricanes play-by-play broadcaster Mike Maniscalco reports.
Kochetkov has seen limited playing time in recent weeks, mostly due to injury, but will draw his second start in three games. He's been effective over a limited sample this season, going 5-1-0 with a 2.10 GAA and a .904 save percentage over seven appearances. He'll have a favorable matchup against a Predator team scoring 2.81 goals per game this year, which is the seventh-worst mark in the league.
Carrier scored a goal on four shots in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flyers.
Carrier opened the scoring at 5:44 of the first period. This was his second goal in the last six games. The 30-year-old winger remains a part of the Hurricanes' bottom six, but he hasn't offered much offense this season. He's at seven points, 30 shots on goal, 54 hits and a plus-1 rating over 26 outings.

Hurricanes' Taylor Hall: Scores against Philly
Rotowire
Hall scored a goal in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flyers.
The fact that Hall plays a bottom-six role for the Hurricanes is perhaps the best example of how stacked this lineup is. He's been productive of late and has points in five of his last eight contests, tallying two goals, three assists and 16 shots on net over that stretch.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Racks up another win
Rotowire
Bussi stopped 24 of 26 shots in Sunday's 3-2 shootout win over the Flyers.
Bussi recorded his ninth straight win with another outstanding display, and this was also the third consecutive outing in which he posted a save percentage of .920 or higher. During this impressive nine-game winning run, Bussi owns a 1.95 GAA and a .911 save percentage. Having started in six of the Hurricanes' last nine games, and considering how good he's been between the pipes lately, Bussi should continue to see ample playing time moving forward.
Nystrom has been assigned to AHL Chicago, the team announced Sunday.
Despite just signing a four-year extension, it's Nystrom who is the roster casualty for the Hurricanes with the return of Jaccob Slavin (lower body) from injured reserve. It makes sense given the 23-year-old doesn't require waivers to be moved down to the AHL. He departs the NHL roster with five assists and a plus-3 rating in 24 games played, but he will likely be the first call-up should another injury strike the Carolina defense corps.
