Carolina Hurricanes News

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.

Hall exited Carolina's previous game with an upper-body injury after 4:17 time-on-ice and will be out for the foreseeable future. The 34-year-old Hall has five points (3G / 2A) in eight games this season. Seth Jarvis (shoulder) is set to return soon and could be an immediate lineup replacement for Hall.

Taylor Hall (upper body) will be out week to week, but the Hurricanes could get immediate reinforcement with the pending return of Seth Jarvis. The 24-year-old Jarvis underwent surgery in late June to address a shoulder injury and was given a four-to-six-month recovery timeline. Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour said he hopes Jarvis can return for the team's upcoming five-game road trip, but insisted he has not yet been medically cleared. Jarvis scored 66 points (32G / 34A) in 71 games last season.

With Taylor Hall's health still up in the air for Friday, Felix Unger Sorum has been recalled from Chicago (AHL). The 21-year-old has made one previous NHL appearance, picking up an assist across 14:35 of TOI in a one-game showing last season.

The Hurricanes drafted Nadeau 30th overall in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old forward had a brief stint in the NHL last season, scoring three goals in 12 games with the Hurricanes. That said, he has spent most of his professional career in the AHL and is coming off a tremendous season with the Chicago Wolves (AHL), scoring 56 points (27G / 29A) in 52 games.

Hurricanes Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour started Brandon Bussi in the first two games of the season, but he seems to be easing into a more balanced goalie rotation, with Kochetkov returning to the crease on Tuesday. The 27-year-old Kochetkov has been solid early this season, posting a 1.64 GAA and .912 SV% in three games (3-0-0). He saved 18 of 19 shots (.947 SV%) in his previous outing, a 4-1 win over the Philadelphia Flyers. The Hurricanes enter Tuesday's contest as -149 home favourites against a 3-2-0 Washington Capitals team.
