Brind'Amour played two games for the Hurricanes this season, but will head back to the AHL. The 27-year-old forward has three points (2G / 1A) this season in six games with the Chicago Wolves (AHL).

Hall hasn't played since suffering an upper-body injury on October 13th, but he returned to practice on Monday and could play as soon as Tuesday against the Boston Bruins. The 34-year-old Hall has five points (3G / 2A) in eight games this season and hopes to continue as an effective depth contributor for the Hurricanes.

Hall hasn't played since suffering an upper-body injury on October 13th, but he returned to practice on Monday and appears close to returning. The 34-year-old Hall has five points (3G / 2A) in eight games this season and hopes to continue as an effective depth contributor for the Hurricanes.

After prolonged negotiations and trade rumours, the Hurricanes have agreed to a one-year, $3.0 million contract extension with defenseman Alexander Nikishin. The 25-year-old Russian was a third-round pick in the Hurricanes' 2020 NHL Entry Draft. He was a valuable contributor to the Hurricanes' 2025-26 Stanley Cup Championship as a rookie, after a 33-point (11G / 22A) 81-game season.

The Hurricanes have leaned on Kochetkov for four of their last five games, but they will turn to Bussi on Thursday against the Edmonton Oilers. Bussi emerged from nowhere as a 27-year-old rookie in the 2025-26 season, leading the Hurricanes to a Stanley Cup, but he hasn't recaptured that brilliance in 2026-27. He has a 2.98 GAA and .882 SV in five games (2-2-1). The Hurricanes enter Thursday's contest as -117 road favourites against a 7-1-1 Oilers team.

Carolina announced Wednesday that star forward Seth Jarvis has been activated from the injured non-roster list. The 24-year-old only missed 11 of the Hurricanes games due to his offseason shoulder surgery. He will add a massive spark to an already rolling Hurricanes' offence after putting up 32 goals, 66 points and 224 SOG in 71 GP last season.

With Seth Jarvis' status still not 100% for Thursday, Skyler Brind'Amour has been recalled from Chicago (AHL) to provide some offensive depth. The 27-year-old is the son of head coach Rod Brind'Amour and last appeared with the Hurricanes last season, failing to pick up a point in four games played. He had two goals and three points in six games to start the season in Chicago.

With Seth Jarvis being activated from IR, Bradly Nadeau was the odd man out of the Hurricanes' roster and has been reassigned to Chicago (AHL). The 21-year-old appeared in three games for the Hurricanes, recording two assists, three SOG, and a -1 plus/minus.

Hurricanes Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour started Brandon Bussi in the first two games of the season, but has leaned a bit more heavily on Kochetkov in recent games. The 27-year-old goalie returns to the crease on Tuesday for his sixth start in his last nine games and, deservedly, after posting a tremendous undefeated 5-0-0 record with a 1.78 GAA and .912 SV%. The Hurricanes enter Tuesday's action as enormous -294 road favourites against a Vancouver Canucks team that has scored two or fewer goals in seven consecutive games (0-6-1).

Valimaki was the Calgary Flames' 16th overall pick in the 2017 NHL Entry Draft, but has struggled to become an NHL regular. The 28-year-old Finnish defenseman had a breakout 2022-23 season for the Arizona Coyotes, scoring 34 points (4G / 30A) in 78 games, but struggled to follow that up and has spent significant portions of the past two seasons in the AHL.
