Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Practices Monday
Svechnikov (undisclosed) participated fully in Monday's practice, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Svechnikov has missed the last two games but appears to be progressing toward a potential return to action. However, it is still unclear if he will be ready for Tuesday's matchup versus Buffalo. Svechnikov has generated 19 goals, 45 points, 170 shots on net and 135 hits through 66 appearances this season.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Status unclear for Tuesday
Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Monday that he isn't yet sure whether Carrier (lower body) will be available for Tuesday's game against Buffalo, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Carrier participated in Monday's practice session, which Brind'Amour called a "good sign." Carrier has been sidelined since early January, and he underwent surgery late in January. Even if the 30-year-old isn't available against the Sabres, it seems possible that he'll be able to return sometime during the final week and a half of the regular season.

Hurricanes' Jordan Staal: Practice Monday
Staal (lower body) practiced with the Hurricanes ahead of Tuesday's matchup versus Buffalo but remains questionable, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Staal was originally ruled out for the entirety of the Hurricanes' four-game road trip, but could still be an option to suit up Tuesday in Buffalo or Thursday in Washington. Regardless of his status Tuesday, the fact that the veteran center was back on the ice would seem to be a positive step in the right direction. Prior to getting hurt, Staal was mired in a nine-game goal drought during which he generated two helpers, 10 shots and 10 hits.

Hurricanes' Justin Robidas: Sent to AHL
Robidas was assigned to AHL Chicago on Sunday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Robidas made his NHL debut against the Red Wings on Friday and also appeared in Saturday's game against Boston. Over those two appearances, he recorded a goal, an assist and two hits while averaging 11:09 of ice time. Despite his production, he'll head back to the minors, which could mean that some of the Hurricanes' injured forwards will be ready to return soon.

Hurricanes' Scott Morrow: Pockets assist
Morrow produced an assist and four shots on goal in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Bruins.
Morrow has played in consecutive contests as the Hurricanes look to rest defensemen ahead of the playoffs. Dmitry Orlov sat Friday in Detroit, while Jalen Chatfield was out Saturday, allowing Morrow to get a little more experience in a third-pairing role. For the season, Morrow has a goal, four assists, 18 shots on net, eight blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over nine outings.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Woeful showing vs. Boston
Andersen stopped 21 of 26 shots in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Bruins.
Andersen found himself on the losing end of a start for the first time since March 1, and this was one of his worst showings of the entire season. This defeat also snapped a streak of eight games with a save percentage of at least .900. Andersen, who has gone 7-3-0 with a 2.11 GAA and a .914 save percentage since the 4 Nations Face-Off break, will aim to bounce back in his next start. Given that the Hurricanes have been alternating between Andersen and Pyotr Kochetkov in recent weeks, Andersen's next start will likely come against the Capitals on Thursday, with Kochetkov in line to face the Sabres on Tuesday.

Hurricanes' Justin Robidas: First NHL goal
Robidas scored a goal, took two shots and recorded two hits in Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Bruins.
After notching an assist in his NHL debut Friday in Detroit, Robidas continued his strong start to his NHL career by potting his first goal Saturday. The 21-year-old has been playing on the fourth line, but he could move up the lineup if he continues to find the scoresheet regularly.

Hurricanes' Jesperi Kotkaniemi: Bothered by injury Saturday
Kotkaniemi tweaked something and didn't play in the third period of Saturday's 5-1 loss to the Bruins, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
The Hurricanes were well behind, but head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Kotkaniemi will be evaluated further Sunday, so this looks to be more than just a precautionary move. The Hurricanes have no extra healthy forwards available, so they'd likely have to dress seven defensemen for Tuesday's game versus the Sabres unless they call up another forward.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Slated to start in Boston
Andersen is expected to defend the road net versus the Bruins on Saturday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Andersen has stopped 161 of 171 shots during his seven-game winning streak. He has a 13-5-0 record with one shutout, a 1.95 GAA and a .920 save percentage across 18 appearances this season. Boston is tied for 29th in the league with 2.59 goals per game in 2024-25, and the team lost 10 straight outings (0-9-1).

Hurricanes' Jordan Staal: Not on road trip
Staal (lower body) didn't accompany Carolina on the team's four-game road trip, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports Saturday.
Staal has already missed the last three games and would be out until at least April 12 versus the Rangers if he doesn't join the team on the road. He has collected 12 goals, 33 points, 99 shots on net, 42 blocked shots and 127 hits in 71 appearances this season. Due to Staal's absence, Tyson Jost has occupied a bottom-six spot in the lineup.

Hurricanes' Justin Robidas: Secures assist in NHL debut
Robidas logged an assist in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
This was Robidas' NHL debut, and he set up an Eric Robinson tally in the second period for his first point. The 22-year-old Robidas was drafted in the fifth round in 2021 and signed his entry-level deal in May of 2023, so he's taken his time to develop to get to this level. This stint in the NHL is likely to be temporary, and he'll be limited to bottom-six minutes until one of Jordan Staal (lower body) or Andrei Svechnikov (undisclosed) is able to return. Robidas had 48 points in 65 games with AHL Chicago prior to his call-up Thursday.

Hurricanes' Jack Roslovic: Registers assist Friday
Roslovic notched an assist, two shots on goal and two PIM in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
Roslovic has a helper in each of the last two games and four assists over nine contests since he last scored a goal. The 28-year-old forward is filling in on the second line while Jordan Staal (lower body) remains out of action. Roslovic has had a solid campaign with 21 goals, 16 helpers, 127 shots on net and a minus-6 rating through 74 appearances.

Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis: Riding six-game point streak
Jarvis logged an assist and seven shots on goal in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
Jarvis has three goals and six assists during his six-game point streak. He set up a Jackson Blake tally as the Hurricanes' top-line wingers continue to show chemistry. Jarvis is now at 61 points (30 goals), 188 shots on net, 90 hits, 48 blocked shots and a plus-10 rating across 68 appearances. He'll have seven more games, at most, to try to match his career highs of 33 goals and 67 points, which he set last season.

Hurricanes' Jaccob Slavin: Produces pair of assists
Slavin logged two assists in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
Slavin helped out on goals by Eric Robinson and Brent Burns for his first multi-point effort since March 2 against the Flames. The 30-year-old Slavin has three helpers over the last three games and may be picking up the pace after a rough March. The defenseman is up to six goals, 20 helpers, 101 shots on net, 132 blocked shots and a plus-20 rating across 75 appearances.

Hurricanes' Brent Burns: Nets goal in loss
Burns scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
Burns' tally brought the Hurricanes within a goal in the third period, but they couldn't find an equalizer. He ended a four-game point drought and earned his first goal since March 6 versus the Bruins. The 40-year-old defenseman is up to six goals, 26 points, 170 shots on net, 94 blocked shots and a plus-13 rating through 75 appearances. Burns is set for unrestricted free agency this summer, but it's unclear if the NHL's active ironman will opt to continue his career. If he does, he will have a chance to become the second player in league history to play in 1,000 consecutive contests.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Lights lamp in Friday's loss
Robinson scored a goal in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
Robinson got a touch on a Justin Robidas attempt, giving the former his first goal since March 14 while the latter earned his first NHL point. Robinson is now at 32 points, 102 shots on net, 102 hits and a plus-17 rating over 75 appearances this season. He's earned seven of those points over his last 12 contests while filling a versatile role for the Hurricanes -- he's capable of moving around the lineup to fill gaps as necessary.

Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: Scores again Friday
Blake scored a goal on three shots in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings.
Blake has four goals and five assists over his last nine contests. He got the Hurricanes on the board in the second period of Friday's game, but they were never able to catch up to the Red Wings. Blake is up to 15 goals, 31 points, 133 shots on net, 30 PIM and a plus-11 rating across 75 appearances. He's been a good fit on the top line and should be considered for fantasy rosters to close out the campaign.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Falters against Red Wings
Kochetkov stopped 16 of 20 shots in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Red Wings. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.
Kochetkov has allowed 18 goals across his last four games, going 1-3-0 in that span. Just one of the teams he's faced in that span is currently in a playoff spot, so this is not a good look for Kochetkov. His defeat Friday sent him to 26-14-3 with a 2.57 GAA and an .898 save percentage over 44 starts this season. The Hurricanes will likely turn to Frederik Andersen for Saturday's game in Boston, while Kochetkov's next turn in the goalie rotation would be Tuesday in Buffalo.
