Oskar Back will be a healthy scratch on Tuesday, allowing Stankoven to re-enter the lineup. After a tremendous start to his rookie season, tallying 14 points (4G / 10A) in his five 15 games, Stankoven only has 11 points (3G / 8A) in his last 39 outings.
Valimaki has not played since January 26th and will report to the Tuscon Roadrunners (AHL) after clearing waivers on Monday. The 26-year-old defenseman averaged 16:33 time-on-ice and recorded five points (2G / 3A) in 43 games with Utah this season.
Jankowski missed the final nine games before the 4Nations break, but was back at practice on Tuesday, suggesting that he'll be available for Saturday's game vs. the Avalanche. Jankowski has just eight points (3G / 5A) in 37 games this season.
Jaaska will draw back into the lineup in place of defenceman Scott Morrow as the Hurricanes opt to dress 12 forwards on Thursday. Jaaska has zero goals and three assists in 15 games this season.
Andersen will make his ninth start of the season when the Hurricanes travel to Minnesota to take on the Wild on Thursday. Andersen struggled in his last outing, allowing four goals on 26 shots in a 4-2 loss to the Kings on Saturday. It was just the second loss of the season for Andersen, who now owns a 6-2-0 record along with a .913 SV%. He's a good bet to get back in the win column on Thursday as the Hurricanes enter action at -180 on the money line.

The 25-year-old netminder has a .921 SV% in his last four games (3-0-1). The Hurricanes enter Tuesday's contest as -136 road favorites against a Winnipeg Jets team riding a six-game winning streak.
Svechnikov did not play in Saturday's 4-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings due to an upper-body injury but was back at practice on Monday and will draw back into the lineup on Tuesday. Over his previous five seasons, Svechnikov has 279 points (111G / 168A) in 324 games, a 0.86 point-per-game pace, but has not been able to maintain that production this season, with only 37 points (17G / 20A) through 52 games, a 0.71 point-per-game pace.
