Chatfield will not be in the lineup versus Montreal on Wednesday.
Chatfield joins a lengthy list of players -- seven in total -- who will be rested for the first game of the Hurricanes' back-to-back.

Rotowire
Chatfield tallied a goal and registered four shots on net in Friday's 4-2 win against the Red Wings.
Chatfield's goal was the third of three tallies in the second period, which would be enough to hold on for the win.

However, his steady improvement on the ice makes him a name to watch ahead of next season.

Hurricanes' Jalen Chatfield: Breaks out with three helpers
Rotowire
Chatfield notched three assists in Thursday's 5-1 win over the Penguins.
He picked up a helper in each period, but Chatfield's big night has one blemish -- it was his hasty clearing attempt that set up Blake Lizotte for the third-period goal that spoiled Pyotr Kochetkov's shutout. Chatfield only had one point, an assist, through his first 11 games, so a repeat performance isn't likely any time soon.

Hurricanes' Jalen Chatfield: Holding bottom-four role
Rotowire
Chatfield has not recorded a point through the Hurricanes' first nine games of the season.
While Chatfield hasn't chipped in any offense, he has 15 shots on net, 10 hits, seven blocked shots, six PIM and a plus-3 rating. The 28-year-old defenseman is holding down a bottom-four role, averaging 18:12 of ice time. He had 22 points over 72 regular-season contests in 2023-24, which earned him a three-year contract. Chatfield's spot in the lineup is safe with the Hurricanes currently not rostering an extra healthy defenseman.
Chatfield signed a three-year, $9 million contract with the Hurricanes on Thursday, per Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
Chatfield had eight goals, 22 points, a plus-15 rating, 24 PIM, 58 hits and 66 blocks in 72 regular-season outings with Carolina in 2023-24. The 28-year-old was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent in July after completing his two-year, $1.525 million deal, but he'll stick with the Hurricanes instead. Although he averaged just 14:48 of ice time across his first 48 regular-season appearances in the recent campaign, that ticked up to 17:09 over his latest 37 regular-season and playoff contests. It would not be surprising to see that increased role carry into 2024-25.
