Morrow was assigned to AHL Chicago on Friday.
After appearing in just two games for the Hurricanes last year, Morrow made 14 appearances in the NHL this season. He recorded a goal, five assists, 16 blocked shots and three hits while averaging 15:48 of ice time, but he'll likely remain in the AHL for the Wolves' playoff run.

Hurricanes' Scott Morrow: Nets first career goal
Rotowire
Morrow scored his first career NHL goal in Saturday's 5-0 shutout victory against Philadelphia.
Morrow found the back of the net by backhanding a deflection off Philadelphia's Samuel Ersson. The 22-year-old Morrow has been highly effective offensively from the blue line with three points in his first six games of the season. While Morrow's promotion to the NHL has been in relief of the injured Dmitry Orlov (upper-body), Morrow has made a strong case to remain with Carolina until the playoffs and could be an exciting name in fantasy for the Hurricanes in future years.

Hurricanes' Scott Morrow: Earns first career helper
Rotowire
Morrow notched an assist and blocked two shots in Sunday's 4-2 win over the Jets.
His assist set up Mark Jankowski's first goal as a Hurricane. Morrow needed five games to get his first NHL point, and he's added four shots on net and three blocked shots over three outings this season. The 22-year-old defenseman has a highly promising future, but his NHL time is likely to be limited in 2024-25 -- he's filling in for Dmitry Orlov, who has been out with a minor undisclosed injury for a couple of games.

Hurricanes' Scott Morrow: Nearing return
Rotowire
Morrow (undisclosed) will not be an option against Florida in Friday's preseason contest, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Although Morrow won't play in Friday's contest, coach Rod Brind'Amour said that the 21-year-old "will be back any day now," Ruff reports. Morrow will be hard-pressed to earn time at the NHL level this season -- Carolina has a veteran-laden defense core. The 2021 second-round pick was highly productive during his time at UMass-Amherst -- he registered 94 points in 109 regular-season contests from the back end over the course of three seasons.
