NHL.com • • sports
Key Points:
- The Carolina Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis and Eric Robinson have undergone surgeries to address injuries sustained during the 2023-24 season, with Robinson expected to return in 6-8 weeks and Jarvis facing a 4-6 month recovery period.
- Jarvis, the team's leading goal scorer in the 2025-26 season, had been playing through a torn labrum and rotator cuff but required surgery to prevent long-term limitations.
- Jarvis' absence at the start of the 2026-27 season opens a potential roster spot, leading the Hurricanes to consider promoting a young player or acquiring new talent via draft, trade, or free agency.
- Bradly Nadeau, a promising young forward who has impressed during his AHL stints and brief NHL appearances, is a leading internal candidate to fill the temporary vacancy.
- General Manager Eric Tulsky emphasized that while Nadeau is a strong contender, the team is exploring multiple options and no roster decisions have been finalized ahead of training camp.
