The Carolina Hurricanes have been hit with a wave of injuries with only three games left in the season. According to NHL.com\u2019s Walt Ruff<\/a>, the Hurricanes were without forwards Jackson Blake<\/a>, William Carrier<\/a>, Taylor Hall<\/a>, Mark Jankowski<\/a>, and Logan Stankoven<\/a>; defenseman Jalen Chatfield<\/a> and K\u2019Andre Miller<\/a>; and goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov<\/a> in Saturday\u2019s game against the Utah Mammoth. No details or timelines have been revealed for any injuries. That is except for Kochetkov, who is currently on a conditioning loan with the AHL\u2019s Chicago Wolves after missing most of the season with a lower-body injury that required surgery.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes were forced to overhaul their lineup with so many players out. Skyler Brind\u2019Amour<\/a>, Josiah Slavin<\/a>, and Bradly Nadeau<\/a> were recalled from the AHL to make up Carolina\u2019s fourth-line, while Nicolas Deslauriers<\/a> stepped onto a line with Eric Robinson<\/a> and Jesperi Kotkaniemi<\/a>. Defensemen Mike Reilly<\/a> and Charles-Alexis Legault<\/a> also stepped onto the blue-line. This is the second NHL game of the season for Brind\u2019Amour and the younger Slavin. The duo have scored 34 and 25 points in 66 AHL games this season respectively. The NHL appearance is a bigger deal for Nadeau, a top Hurricanes prospect who notched 53 points in 51 AHL games this year. Nadeau also has two goals in nine NHL games this season. Leagult has matched Nadeau\u2019s NHL scoring, with two points in nine games, on top of seven points in 22 AHL games.<\/p>\n

It is not yet clear how the Hurricanes will move forward in the face of so many injuries. With only two games left after Saturday\u2019s matchup, Carolina could afford to rest all seven injured NHL skaters for the rest of the regular season. The Hurricanes have locked up the top spot in the Metropolitan Division with a 51-22-6 record this season. They sit 10 points above the Pittsburgh Penguins in second place. Carolina is set to enter the postseason as a favorite to win the Stanley Cup out of the Eastern Conference. They will need to have all hands on deck to acheive that feat, with a first round matchup against the Boston Bruins or Ottawa Senators on the table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Carolina Hurricanes have been hit with a wave of injuries with only three games left in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":598894,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,748,5718,18653,123199,97055,158919,226993,448,14116,25366,82,226994,157143],"class_list":{"0":"post-598893","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-carolina-hurricanes","11":"tag-injury","12":"tag-jackson-blake","13":"tag-jalen-chatfield","14":"tag-kandre-miller","15":"tag-logan-stankoven","16":"tag-mark-jankowski","17":"tag-nhl","18":"tag-players","19":"tag-pyotr-kochetkov","20":"tag-sports","21":"tag-taylor-hall","22":"tag-william-carrier"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598893","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=598893"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598893\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/598894"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=598893"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=598893"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=598893"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
