Jordan Staal Out Against Bruins

Carolina Hurricanes center Jordan Staal (lower body) has been ruled out for Saturday's clash against the Boston Bruins. Like Andrei Svechnikov (undisclosed), he has not joined the team for its four-game road trip. The Hurricanes captain will be unavailable for a fourth consecutive contest. Injuries in the offensive department have given Jackson Blake a first-line role, while Justin Robidas enjoyed a fine debut in Friday's meeting with the Detroit Red Wings. The 22-year-old notched an assist in a 5-3 loss. Blake has been on fire with four goals in four games, adding two assists.

Andrei Svechnikov To Sit Out At Least Four Games

Carolina Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov (undisclosed) will come out of the lineup on Friday against the Detroit Red Wings and is not expected to play before the team returns home from a four-game road trip. This is an unfortunate setback for Svechnikov, who just returned from a seven-game absence. However, Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour stated that the Russian forward is being held out only for precautionary reasons. As a result of Svechnikov's absence, Eric Robinson will move into the top six against Detroit. There have been very few moments to celebrate for Robinson in recent games, but he has had a career year in 2024-25 with 31 points (13 goals, 18 assists) in 74 appearances,

Jackson Blake Scores Twice In Victory

Carolina Hurricanes right wing Jackson Blake scored two goals during their 5-1 victory over the Washington Capitals on Wednesday evening. Blake scored his first goal in the opening frame on the power play. Later in the third, Blake would strike again on the power play to put the game out of reach. Blake has found the back of the net three times over his previous three contests. Before this recent surge, the 21-year-old only tallied three helpers with no goals over his last 10 contests. However, Blake has begun to find a place on the top forward line alongside Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis, which has provided him with higher scoring opportunities. Through 74 total games this season, the former fourth-round selection has found the back of the net 14 times and added 16 helpers.

Andrei Svechnikov Exits Early On Wednesday

Carolina Hurricanes right wing Andrei Svechnikov (undisclosed) was unable to finish Wednesday's contest against the Washington Capitals. However, after the contest, head coach Rod Brind'Amour noted that he did not believe the injury was serious. During this contest, he logged just over eight minutes of ice time and did not get on the scoresheet. He only logged one hit and held a +0 rating. Over his previous two contests, Svechnikov tallied two points (one goal) with three total shots on goal. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Friday evening against the Detroit Red Wings. If Svechnikov were to miss this game, fantasy managers should expect Logan Stankoven or Tyson Jost to have a role in the top-six.

Jordan Staal Doubtful For Wednesday

Carolina Hurricanes center Jordan Staal (lower body) is considered doubtful for Wednesday's contest against the Washington Capitals. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour noted that this move is precautionary. Fantasy managers should monitor his status leading up to their next game on Friday evening against the Detroit Red Wings. He is currently riding a six-game scoreless streak. During this skid, Staal has logged nine hits, two blocks, and held a -2 rating. Through 71 total contests this season, the 36-year-old has found the back of the net has found the back of the net 12 times and added 21 helpers. Staal has added 127 hits with 99 shots on goal. While Staal is out of the lineup, fantasy managers should expect Tyson Jost to remain in the starting lineup.

Sebastian Aho Busy In Sunday's Victory

Carolina Hurricanes center Sebastian Aho tallied three points during their 6-4 victory over the New York Islanders on Sunday. Aho found the back of the net in the second frame on the power play. Later in that period, he would tally the primary assist on Seth Jarvis' shorthanded goal. In the third, Aho would finish his evening with another primary assist, on Seth Jarvis' second goal of the contest. In March, Aho tallied 12 points (seven goals) across 14 contests, with four of his points coming on the power play. In 72 total games this season, the 27-year-old has found the back of the net 28 times and added 41 helpers. He has done most of his damage on the power-play, tallying 21 of his total points. He will look to stay productive on Wednesday when the Hurricanes host the Capitals.

Jordan Staal Will Not Play On Sunday

Carolina Hurricanes center Jordan Staal (lower body) will not be in action on Sunday against the New York islanders. He has been ruled out with a lower-body injury, sitting out for the second time in five games. Tyson Jost will be inserted back into the lineup as Staal's replacement. He will skate on the fourth line and does not have any fantasy value. Jesperi Kotkaniemi will start the game as the third-line center, with Jack Roslovic centering the second line. Staal will get some good recovery time after Sunday's action, as Carolina is not scheduled to play until Wednesday.

Andrei Svechnikov Returns To Action Against Canadiens

Carolina Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov (upper body) will be back in the lineup on Friday against the Montreal Canadiens. As expected, Svechnikov has received the green light to play on Friday after missing seven games due to an upper-body injury. He will replace Tyson Jost in the lineup. Svechnikov is expected to start the game on the fourth line, but he should see plenty of action. Although all of his last five appearances have ended without any points, Svechnikov has had a solid campaign, recording 43 points (18 goals, 25 assists) in 63 games. He also adds muscle to the lineup, having registered 131 hits this season.

Andrei Svechnikov Not Playing On Tuesday

Carolina Hurricanes right wing Andrei Svechnikov (upper body) will remain sidelined on Tuesday evening when the Hurricanes host the Nashville Predators. Svechnikov has missed the previous six contests due to this injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Friday evening against the Montreal Canadiens. Before his injury, Svechnikov was riding a five-game scoreless streak. However, before this minor skid, the 24-year-old tallied nine points (three goals) over his last eight contests. Through 63 games this season, Svechnikov has scored 18 goals and added 25 helpers, with 17 of his points coming on the power play. While he remains out, Taylor Hall should continue to see time on the second offensive line.

Taylor Hall Scores Hat Trick On Sunday

Carolina Hurricanes left wing Taylor Hall posted his sixth career hat trick during their 5-2 victory over the Anaheim Ducks on Sunday evening. Hall would do all of his damage in the final period. He first found the back of the net on the power play. Later in the frame, he would add his second goal during 5-on-5 play and would cap off his evening with the empty-netter. He logged just three shots on goal and did not add a hit or a blocked shot. Over his last eight games, Hall has begun to turn the corner as he has only been held off the scoresheet twice. During this stretch, the 33-year-old has scored five goals and added four helpers with two of his goals coming on the power play. Given his role on the second offensive line and top power-play unit, he remains a solid option in all standard formats.

Frederik Andersen Looks To Stretch Winning Streak To Five Games Sunday

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen has been named the starter for Sunday's tilt against the Anaheim Ducks. He faces his former team holding a four-game winning streak. Andersen has returned to form after suffering four consecutive defeats. Ahead of Sunday's action, his record for the season stands at 10-5-0. He has allowed 2.08 goals with a .915 save percentage and one shutout. The Ducks are among the weakest squads in the National Hockey League, and Andersen will be disappointed if he doesn't improve his numbers in Sunday's game. The Danish veteran has a career record of 4-2-0 in matchups against Anaheim.

Seth Jarvis Suffers Injury In Saturday's Defeat

Carolina Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis (undisclosed) did not finish Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings. He exited the action with an undisclosed injury after logging 12:44 of ice time. Entering Saturday, Jarvis was on a roll, boasting a six-game point streak. He has totaled 27 goals and 52 points in 62 games for the season. Andrei Svechnikov (upper body) missed a fifth consecutive game on Saturday, and Jordan Staal (lower body) was a late scratch. This means Carolina may be very thin up front on Sunday when the team will visit the Anaheim Ducks.

Andrei Svechnikov Doubtful For Thursday

Carolina Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov (upper body) will likely remain sidelined for Thursday's matchup against the San Jose Sharks. Svechnikov returned to practice on Monday, raising hopes that he would be ready to rejoin the action against the Sharks; however, the Russian forward is considered doubtful for Thursday's game. Tyson Jost is set to keep his spot in the lineup, while Jackson Blake is expected to continue skating in a first-line role. The rookie winger broke a five-game dry spell with an assist last time out against the Philadelphia Flyers. Overall, Blake has recorded 23 points (11 goals, 12 assists) in 67 games during his rookie season, but he has only added to his tally three times since the start of February.

Dmitry Orlov On Track To Return Thursday

Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Dmitry Orlov (upper body) is expected to return to the lineup on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks. The Russian rearguard has missed five games due to an upper-body injury. However, Orlov has looked good in practice since returning to the ice. "We will see where he's at, but I would assume he'd be ready to go," Hurricanes head coach Brind'Amour said about Orlov on Wednesday. Orlov has provided all-around production for fantasy managers, registering 24 points (four goals, 20 assists), 93 shots, 49 blocks, and 88 hits in 62 appearances. Scott Morrow has filled in for Orlov and is likely to exit the lineup on Thursday.

Andrei Svechnikov Could Return To Action Thursday

Carolina Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov (upper body) returned to the ice on Monday and could be ready to rejoin the action in Thursday's matchup against the San Jose Sharks. The Russian forward has been unavailable for three games due to an upper-body injury. "We'll find out," Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour said when asked if Svechnikov could play Thursday. "We've got a couple more days. We'll see where he's at." Before exiting the lineup, Svechnikov went five consecutive games without recording any points. However, a haul of 43 points (18 goals, 25 assists) in 63 games places him among Carolina's top scorers this season. He leads the team with nine power-play goals.

Pyotr Kochetkov Shuts The Door On Flyers On Saturday

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov stopped all 26 shots he saw on Saturday evening during their victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. The Hurricanes held the slight advantage in the shot total but Kochetkov was able to step up when called on. This outing also extended his win streak to five games. During this impressive stretch, Kochetkov has held a stellar .948 save percentage with a 1.19 GAA. He only allowed two or more goals twice during this stretch. Through 40 games this season, Kochetkov has held a 25-11-3 record with a .907 save percentage and a 2.37 GAA. Fantasy managers should continue to expect him and Frederik Andersen to alternate starts in the Carolina crease. His next start will likely be against the Los Angeles Kings next weekend.

Jack Roslovic Tallies Goal, Assist In Friday's Victory

Carolina Hurricanes right wing Jack Roslovic tallied a goal and an assist during Friday's 4-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings. Roslovic did all of his damage in the second frame. He first tallied the secondary helper on Taylor Hall's 11th goal of the season. Later in the frame, Roslovic would find the back of the net with a wrist shot. This outing extended his current point streak to three games and goal streak to two games. Through his past 11 contests, the 28-year-old has tallied six points (three goals) with 15 shots on goal. In 65 games this season, Roslovic is on pace to enjoy a career-season as he has found the back of the net 21 times and added 12 helpers. He will look to extend his point streak to four games on Saturday evening against the Philadelphia Flyers.

Andrei Svechnikov Expected To Return Next Week

Carolina Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup on Friday against the Detroit Red Wings and is also expected to miss Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. He withdrew from the lineup earlier this week due to an undisclosed injury. According to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site, head coach Rod Brind'Amour hopes Svechnikov can return to action next week. In Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Tyson Jost rejoined the lineup as Svechnikov's replacement. However, he offers no fantasy value as a fourth-line piece. Jackson Blake has probably received the biggest boost from a fantasy perspective, joining the first line. The 21-year-old will look to end a four-game pointless streak on Friday. Blake has recorded 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists) in 65 games for the season.

Andrei Svechnikov Doubtful For Friday

Carolina Hurricanes right wing Andrei Svechnikov (undisclosed) is not expected to return to the lineup on Friday evening when the Hurricanes face the Detroit Red Wings. Svechnikov was unable to play during their previous contest on Tuesday and is in line to miss his second-straight contest. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but given this update, they should expect Jackson Blake to continue to be deployed on the top forward line. Before his injury, the 24-year-old was held off the scoresheet in his last four contests. However, prior to this slump, Svechnikov tallied nine points (three goals) over his previous eight games. As a result, fantasy managers should view Blake as a viable streaming option and top play in DFS as he will be deployed on the top forward unit facing a weak Detroit defense.

Andrei Svechnikov Out On Tuesday

Carolina Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov (undisclosed) will not play on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. The Russian forward suffered an undisclosed injury in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Winnipeg Jets and is still undergoing evaluation. Carolina loses a two-way force with Andrei Svechnikov sidelined. He ranks second on the team with 131 hits and has tallied 43 points (18 goals, 25 assists) in 63 outings. On Tuesday, Taylor Hall and Jackson Blake are set to move up in the lineup after practicing with Sebastian Aho on the first line Monday.
