Sharks' Dmitry Orlov: Two more assists Thursday
Orlov dished two assists, one on the power play, in Thursday's 6-5 overtime win over the Rangers.
The veteran blueliner had a hand in two of Macklin Celebrini's three goals on the night. Orlov has had a strong start to the season, and while he's still looking for his first goal as a Shark, he's churned out seven assists in seven contests, three of them coming with the man advantage.

Sharks' Dmitry Orlov: Slings two helpers
Orlov notched two assists, three shots on goal, five hits and two PIM in Saturday's 7-6 overtime loss to the Ducks.
Orlov has earned three points, seven hits and four shots on net over two games this season. The 34-year-old even picked up a power-play helper on Adam Gaudette's tally Saturday. Orlov is seeing significant minutes so far in 2025-26 and should offer plenty of physicality while also potentially pushing for a return to the 30-point mark for the first time since 2022-23, when he had 36 points over 66 outings between Washington and Boston.

Sharks' Dmitry Orlov: Inks two-year contract
Orlov signed a two-year, $13 million contract with San Jose on Thursday, Pierre LeBrun of TSN reports.
Orlov has spent his 13-year NHL career in the Eastern Conference and now will head west to give the Sharks another veteran defenseman. Orlov had six goals, 22 assists, 117 shots on goal and 101 hits across 76 regular-season appearances with the Hurricanes in 2024-25. He should be a middle pairing on the blue line for San Jose this season.

Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Puts up assist in win
Orlov notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 5-4 double-overtime win over the Devils in Game 5.
Orlov finished the first round with two helpers, a plus-1 rating, four PIM, six shots on net, 18 hits and eight blocked shots over five games. The 33-year-old has handled top-four minutes this postseason while working as a shutdown defenseman. He'll be a decent target for non-scoring production in fantasy throughout the playoffs.

Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Pockets helper Saturday
Orlov logged an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.
The lopsided nature of the game gave Orlov a chance to play extra minutes -- he led the team with 22:25 of ice time. The blueliner has just two goals and an assist over 11 contests since he returned from an upper-body injury that cost him five games. He should be in line for top-four minutes in the postseason. Orlov's at 27 points, 114 shots on net, 97 hits, 56 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating through 73 appearances.

Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Deposits game-winner Sunday
Orlov scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Islanders.
Orlov's tally at 9:19 of the third period was the game-winner in a back-and-forth contest. The defenseman has scored twice on 14 shots over six games since he returned from an upper-body injury. For the season, he's up to six goals, 26 points, 107 shots on net, 95 hits, 51 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 68 appearances, matching his point total from the full 82-game regular season a year ago.

Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Pots goal in blowout loss
Orlov scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.
This was Orlov's second game back after he missed five contests due to an upper-body injury. The defenseman snapped a 27-game goal drought dating back to his Dec. 28 tally versus the Devils. He had also gone 11 contests without a point, 10 of which were before his injury. The 33-year-old blueliner is up to five goals, 20 helpers, 97 shots on net, 89 hits, 50 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-15 rating through 64 appearances. Orlov continues to operate in more of a shutdown role, though his scoring pace has been a little better than the 26-point effort he had in 82 regular-season outings a year ago.

Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Playing Thursday
Orlov (upper body) will be in the lineup versus San Jose on Thursday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.
Orlov will return to action following a five-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. The veteran blueliner is currently mired in a 10-game pointless streak during which he has registered 20 hits, 13 shots and 11 blocks. Even with the slump, Orlov should be capable of reaching the 25-point threshold for the second straight season.

Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Not ready to return
Orlov (upper body) won't play Saturday against Philadelphia.
The Hurricanes hope Orlov will be an option to return against San Jose on Thursday. The 33-year-old defenseman has four goals, 24 points, 88 hits and 49 blocks in 62 appearances in 2024-25. Scott Morrow is expected to remain in the lineup Saturday due to Orlov's continued absence.

Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Won't play Friday
Orlov (upper body) will miss Friday's tilt against Detroit, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Orlov will miss his fourth straight game. He's regarded as day-to-day, so perhaps he can still return Saturday in Philadelphia. The 33-year-old has four goals, 24 points, 88 hits and 49 blocks in 62 appearances in 2024-25.

Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Won't play Sunday
Orlov (upper body) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.
Orlov was unavailable for Thursday's game against the Bruins due to a minor upper-body injury, and head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Sunday that the defenseman isn't yet back to 100 percent. Scott Morrow will enter the lineup against Winnipeg, while Orlov's next chance to return will be Tuesday against the Lightning.

Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Out of action Thursday
Orlov (undisclosed) won't play Thursday versus the Bruins due to a minor injury.
Orlov will miss a game, but it doesn't sound like the team is overly worried about his status. Riley Stillman will fill in as a third-pairing defenseman after being waived earlier in the day. The Hurricanes' next game is Sunday versus the Jets.

Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Slows down on offense
Orlov has gone nine games without a point following Sunday's 2-1 overtime win over the Flames.
Orlov remains a regular in the Hurricanes' lineup for his shutdown skills on the blue line. The 33-year-old defenseman has 24 points over 61 appearances, so he's still on pace to surpass his 26-point regular season from 2023-24, but he's noticeably slowed down in recent weeks. The blueliner has added 93 shots on net, 87 hits, 47 blocked shots and a plus-15 rating while most frequently lining up on the second pairing.

Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Finds assist Saturday
Orlov notched an assist, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders.
Orlov's strong January continues -- he has six helpers and a plus-3 rating over 13 appearances. The 33-year-old defenseman is doing well in a top-four role, though his responsibility lies in his own zone first. Orlov has still produced offense at a good rate this season with 23 points, 79 shots on net and a plus-19 rating through 50 outings overall, and he's added 68 hits and 38 blocked shots.
