Suzuki was the 28th overall pick of the Hurricanes in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The 23-year-old forward has yet to play an NHL game but has been impressive at the AHL level. He has 30 points (6G / 24A) in 38 games with the Chicago Wolves (AHL) this season. Riley Stillman was assigned to Chicago (AHL) in a corresponding move.
The Hurricanes had a 4-0 shutout victory over the New York Rangers courtesy of a 22-save shutout by Frederik Andersen. That said, they will likely switch to Kochetkov between the pipes on Thursday against the Chicago Blackhawks. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has a 2.48 GAA and .903 SV% through 31 games this season (18-9-3). He has been solid lately, posting a .913 SV% across his last 15 games (7-5-3). The Hurricanes enter Thursday's contest as dominant -398 home favorites against a Blackhawks squad coming off an impressive 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning.
Aho was absent from Carolina's morning skate on Thursday due to an illness but could be an option in their meeting with the Chicago Blackhawks. The 27-year-old Aho has 51 points (17G / 34A) in 51 games this season, including five points (3G / 2A) in his last three.
Roslovic is battling an illness, did not practice on Monday, and could miss his first game of the season on Tuesday against the New York Rangers. The 27-year-old Roslovic has 26 points (18G / 8A) in 50 games this season. In recent games, Roslovic has been playing on Carolina's fourth line.
The Hurricanes have rotated netminders since Andersen returned from an injury and will continue that trend on Tuesday against the New York Rangers, turning to Andersen between the pipes. Andersen struggled in his most recent outing, allowing four goals on 22 shots (.818 SV%), but salvaged a 7-4 victory over the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 35-year-old Andersen has a 2.15 GAA and .912 SV% in six games this season (5-1-0). The Hurricanes enter Tuesday's contest as -130 road favorites against a Rangers team they defeated 3-1 on December 22nd.

Hall goes from the basement dwelling Blackhawks to what's now become one of the most exciting teams in the NHL in the Hurricanes. It's a welcomed fresh start for Hall, who ultimately struggled to stay healthy and productive during his tenure in Chicago. The former Hart Trophy winner tallied 11 goals and 17 assists in 56 games across parts of two seasons with the Blackhawks.
Hall was a surprise scratch on Friday with the team not announcing his absence prior to warmups. It's unclear at this point if he is dealing with an undisclosed injury or if he's simply a healthy scratch.
Carrier has not played since January 4th, missing 10 straight, and will continue to be sidelined month-to-month. The 30-year-old Carrier was averaging 11:37 time-on-ice, recording nine points (4G / 5A) and 136 hits in 39 games before his injury.
Gostisbehere was not at the Hurricanes' morning skate on Thursday, attending to personal matters, but is ready to play in the evening against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 31-year-old Gostisbehere continues to quarterback the top powerplay unit in Carolina and has 28 points (6G / 22A) in 40 games this season. That said, his productivity has dipped significantly, with only three points (0G / 3A) in his last 12 games after being nearly a point-per-game player with 25 points (6G / 19A) in his previous 27.
The Hurricanes have won three straight and will turn to Andersen between the pipes on Thursday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Andersen was serviceable in his return from a multi-week absence, saving 22 of 25 shots (.880 SV%) in a 4-3 overtime win against the Chicago Blackhawks. The 35-year-old netminder has a 1.78 GAA and .929 SV% in five games this season (4-1-0). The Hurricanes enter Thursday's contest as -380 home favorites against a Blue Jackets squad coming off a dominant 5-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs last night.
