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.

Hurricanes' Mark Jankowski: Leaving road trip
Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Sunday that Jankowski has ben sent back to Raleigh to have his lower-body injury assessed, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Jankowski was a late scratch for Sunday's 3-2 loss in Calgary and is now unlikely to be available until after Carolina's current road trip concludes, which will be Saturday in St. Louis. As a result of Jankowski returning home, it wouldn't be surprising to see him land on injured reserve in the near future. While the Hurricanes have lost several forwards due to injury recently, the team is expected to have Seth Jarvis (shoulder) return to the lineup soon, as Brind'Amour said Friday that he's hopeful Jarvis will be able to play at some point during this road trip. Nicolas Deslauriers got back into the lineup Sunday due to Jankowski's absence.

Hurricanes' Mark Jankowski: Not suiting up Sunday
Jankowski will not play in Calgary on Sunday due to a lower-body injury.
The Hurricanes' forward depth is certainly being tested early in the season, as Jankowski is now one of four forwards unavailable due to injury. The 32-year-old has been red hot lately, scoring a goal in six straight games. The severity of Jankowski's injury is unknown at this time, so he can be considered questionable for Tuesday's matchup in Vancouver.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Slated to start in Calgary
Bussi is expected to patrol the road blue paint Sunday against the Flames, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Bussi seems to have lost the No. 1 gig in net to Pyotr Kochetkov, who is off to a perfect 5-0-0 record to being the 2026-27 campaign. Still, the 28-year-old Bussi has won his last two starts, and he should remain a solid option in fantasy on one of the NHL's top teams. Even with the Hurricanes on the second half of a back-to-back, Bussi has a favorable matchup Sunday against a Calgary squad that has generated just 2.00 goals per game this season, which is tied for 30th in the NHL. The Flames should be well rested, however, as they have been off since Thursday.

Hurricanes' Jesperi Kotkaniemi: Nets equalizer Saturday
Kotkaniemi scored a goal and added three hits in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Jets.
Kotkaniemi went nearly a full year between goals -- his last one prior to Saturday was Nov. 8, 2025 against the Sabres. The 26-year-old has gotten a chance to play regularly early in 2026-27, earning three points, five shots on net, 10 hits and four PIM over seven contests. He's still in a fourth-line role and will be prone to getting scratched once Seth Jarvis (shoulder) returns to the lineup.

Hurricanes' Mark Jankowski: Stays hot in Saturday's win
Jankowski scored a power-play goal in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Jets.
The 32-year-old center continued his remarkable run, getting Carolina on the board midway through the second period with a quick shot through traffic past Clay Stevenson. Jankowski has found the back of the net in six straight games -- not bad for a bottom-six player who scored a grand total of 11 goals over 68 regular-season games in 2025-26. Saturday's tally was also Jankowski's first power-play goal since 2017-18 with the Flames, and just the third of his career. He is getting extra shifts and opportunities with Jordan Staal (calf) on the shelf, but shooting at a 40.0 percent rate simply isn't sustainable.

Hurricanes' Nikolaj Ehlers: Notches game-winner against former club
Ehlers scored the game-winning goal on the power play in Saturday's 3-2 victory over the Jets.
Facing the team he spent the first 10 seasons of his NHL career with, Ehlers broke a 2-2 tie early in the third period with a rocket from the high slot. It was the 30-year-old winger's first goal of 2026-27, and after delivering a career-high 71 points (26 goals, 45 assists) over 82 regular-season games for the Stanley Cup champions in his Carolina debut last year, Ehlers has five points in nine games to kick off the current campaign, with all but one helper coming on the power play.

Hurricanes' Shayne Gostisbehere: Two helpers in Winnipeg
Gostisbehere picked up two assists, one on the power play, in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Jets.
The veteran blueliner helped set up tallies by Jesperi Kotkaniemi late in the second period and Nikolaj Ehlers early in the third to erase a 2-1 deficit for Carolina. Gostisbehere has had a strong start to the season, collecting two goals and seven points in nine games, with five of those points (one goal, four assists) coming on the power play.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Stays sharp in Saturday's win
Kochetkov made 21 saves in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Jets.
Twice Carolina had to rally from one-goal deficits in the second period, but Kochetkov slammed the door on Winnipeg in the third, giving Nikolaj Ehlers a chance to pot a revenge goal for the game-winner. Kochetkov has started three straight games for the Hurricanes and appears to have moved ahead of the Brandon Bussi on the depth chart for the moment, going 5-0-0 to begin the season with a stellar 1.78 GAA and .912 save percentage.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: In net Saturday
Kochetkov will start Saturday's road matchup against Winnipeg.
Kochetkov has stopped 72 of 79 shots during his four-game winning streak to begin the 2026-27 campaign. Winnipeg (4-1-2) is tied for 17th in the league this season with 3.00 goals per game.

Hurricanes' Taylor Hall: Considered week-to-week
Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Friday that Hall (upper body) is considered week-to-week, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Hall exited Tuesday's game against the Capitals due to his upper-body issue, and Brind'Amour said after the matchup that the injury didn't look good. The 34-year-old is now facing a multi-game absence, and it seems possible that he'll be placed on injured reserve at some point. Felix Unger Sorum could see time in the Hurricanes' lineup after being called up Thursday.

Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis: Set to travel with team
Jarvis (shoulder) said Friday that he plans to travel with the Hurricanes during their upcoming five-game road trip, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.
Jarvis underwent offseason surgery to address a torn labrum and rotator cuff, but he was on the ice during training camp and could be close to making his regular-season debut after missing the first few weeks of the year. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Friday that he's hopeful that Jarvis will be able to suit up at some point during the road trip, though he hasn't yet been cleared to play, Henkel reports. The 24-year-old Jarvis racked up 32 goals, 34 assists, 81 hits, 27 blocked shots and 23 PIM while averaging 18:53 of ice time across 71 regular-season appearances last year.
