Hurricanes' Bradly Nadeau: Sent down by Carolina
Nadeau was assigned to AHL Chicago on Wednesday.
Nadeau spent just over a week with the NHL club and recorded no goals, two assists, four hits and a blocked shot while averaging 14:07 of ice time across three appearances with the Hurricanes. However, he'll head back to the minors after Seth Jarvis (shoulder) was activated from the injured non-roster list and Skyler Brind'Amour was recalled by Carolina on Wednesday.

Hurricanes' Skyler Brind'Amour: Called up from minors
Brind'Amour was called up from AHL Chicago on Wednesday.
Brind'Amour has two goals and three points in six appearances with Chicago in 2026-27. The 27-year-old has accumulated a goal in six career regular-season NHL outings, but he hasn't played at the top level yet this campaign. If Brind'Amour does draw into the lineup during his latest stint with the team, then it will probably be in a bottom-six capacity.

Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis: Activated by Carolina
Jarvis (shoulder) was activated from the injured non-roster list by the Hurricanes on Wednesday.
Jarvis underwent shoulder surgery in June and was expected to miss approximately 4-6 months. While he was unavailable for the start of the regular season, he traveled with the Hurricanes for the start of their current five-game road trip and has been cleared to return slightly ahead of schedule. The 24-year-old made 71 regular-season appearances for the Hurricanes last year and recorded 32 goals, 34 assists, 81 hits, 27 blocked shots and 23 PIM while averaging 18:53 of ice time. Jarvis is on track to make his season debut Thursday against Edmonton and should immediately reclaim a prominent role for Carolina.

Hurricanes' Juuso Valimaki: Garners helper Tuesday
Valimaki notched an assist and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.
Valimaki made his season debut Tuesday and picked up his first NHL point since Jan. 18, 2025, when he was with Utah. The 28-year-old blueliner has since recovered from ACL surgery and worked his way back to the NHL after a strong showing in the AHL in the latter half of 2025-26. Valimaki is set to compete with Mike Reilly for playing time when the Hurricanes are fully healthy on the blue line.

Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: Shows off playmaking skills
Blake recorded three assists, five shots on goal and a plus-4 rating in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.
Blake had been limited to just one assist over his previous four games. He and linemates Nikolaj Ehlers and Logan Stankoven each rang up three points in Tuesday's win to lead the Carolina offense. Blake has just one goal on the year, but he's added 10 assists, 32 shots on net and a plus-5 rating. The shot total is a positive -- he's getting chances and will eventually see his luck turn around.

Hurricanes' Nicolas Deslauriers: Surprise contributor in win
Deslauriers scored two goals and added two hits in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.
Remarkably, it's the third time in Deslauriers' career he's had a two-goal game in Vancouver -- and he's never donned a Canucks sweater. The 35-year-old grinder has three points, four shots on net, 19 hits, seven PIM and a plus-2 rating over six appearances this season. He's already surpassed his point total from last year when he had two assists over 31 games between the Flyers and the Hurricanes. As long as the Hurricanes are battling multiple injuries up front, Deslauriers will have a spot on the fourth line.

Hurricanes' Logan Stankoven: Three points in homecoming game
Stankoven scored twice on five shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.
The Kamloops, British Columbia native put on a show for friends and family as a leading force on offense for the Hurricanes. Stankoven opened and closed the scoring Tuesday, and he also helped out on the first of Nikolaj Ehlers' two goals. Consistency is a small concern early in the season, but Stankoven remains in a top-six role for a reason. He has six goals, three assists, 32 shots on net and a plus-7 rating across 11 appearances this season, aided by a pair of three-point outings.

Hurricanes' Nikolaj Ehlers: Racks up three points in win
Ehlers scored twice on four shots, added an assist and went plus-3 in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.
This was Ehlers' first multi-point effort of the season. He worked well alongside Logan Stankoven and Jackson Blake on the second line, as each of those forwards had a three-point game. Ehlers is up to three tallies, five assists, 23 shots on net and a minus-1 rating over 11 appearances. Ehlers started slow in 2025-26 as well before working his way to a career year and a point-per-game pace in the postseason. In other words, Tuesday's effort was likely just the beginning of his surge for the year.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Slightly shaky in win
Kochetkov stopped 14 of 17 shots in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Canucks.
The Hurricanes' offense made sure that Kochetkov's poor outing wasn't punished. He gave up a pair of goals in the first period but was able to settle down after that. This was the first time Kochetkov has allowed more than two goals in a game this season. He's 6-0-0 with a 1.98 GAA and an .899 save percentage over six games so far. The 27-year-old has started four of the last five Carolina contests, giving him an edge for the No. 1 job. He'll have his hands full if he gets the start in Edmonton on Thursday.

Hurricanes' Justin Poirier: Pots pair in loss
Poirier scored two goals in Penn State University's 5-2 loss to Robert Morris University.
Poirier is up to two goals and three assists in his first four games for the Nittany Lions. The Hurricanes prospect did well with the University of Maine last year, earning 29 points in 27 games. He'll have a chance to shine with a bigger program in his sophomore season of college.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Poised to start Tuesday
Kochetkov is expected to guard the road goal against Vancouver on Tuesday, according to Walt Ruff and Peter Dewar of the Hurricanes' official site.
Kochetkov has stopped 93 of 102 shots during his five-game winning streak to begin the 2026-27 campaign. Vancouver (2-7-1) is tied for 17th in the league with 3.00 goals per game this season.

Hurricanes' Taylor Hall: Moves to IR
Hall (upper body) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
Hall is week-to-week with an upper-body injury and has missed Carolina's last two games. He has accounted for three goals, five points, 17 shots on net and nine hits in eight appearances this season. Hall's placement on the IR list frees up a roster spot for the Hurricanes to bring up a forward from AHL Chicago.

Hurricanes' Nicolas Deslauriers: Deals helper in Sunday's loss
Deslauriers registered an assist in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.
Injuries are piling up for the Hurricanes' forwards, opening the door for Deslauriers to play more regularly in a fourth-line role. The helper was his first point of the season in five outings. He's added 17 hits, two shots on net, seven PIM and an even plus-minus rating. The 35-year-old winger brings plenty of toughness when he's in the lineup, but he likely won't score enough to interest most fantasy managers.

Hurricanes' Jalen Chatfield: Lights lamp in loss
Chatfield scored a goal on three shots and blocked three shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.
Chatfield has filled a top-four role to start the season, and this was his first goal. Over 10 contests, he's added two assists, 18 shots on net, four hits, 10 blocked shots and a plus-2 rating. Chatfield doesn't pile up high totals in any one area -- he's never had 100 hits or blocks in a season, and he's topped the 20-point mark just once in his career. His value will remain higher on the ice than in fantasy.

Hurricanes' Jesperi Kotkaniemi: Scores again in loss
Kotkaniemi scored a goal on four shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.
With Mark Jankowski (lower body) the latest forward to get hurt, Kotkaniemi is playing an increasingly important role in the Hurricanes' bottom six. He's risen to the occasion with goals in consecutive contests. For the season, he's at two goals, two assists, nine shots on net, 12 hits, six PIM and a plus-1 rating across eight appearances. Until Carolina gets healthier up front, Kotkaniemi should see steady playing time.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Yields three goals in loss
Bussi stopped 31 of 34 shots in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Flames.
Bussi was able to put in a decent effort, but the Hurricanes are missing four regulars from their forward group. That left the scoring depth thinned out too much for them to keep pace in the second half of a back-to-back. Bussi is now 2-2-1 with a 2.98 GAA and an .882 save percentage over five games this season. Pyotr Kochetkov is undefeated between the pipes and looks to have gained an edge for starts over the last week, but Bussi represents a solid backup or 1B option. The Hurricanes' five-game road trip reaches its midpoint when they visit the Canucks on Tuesday.
