TAMPA, Fla. – The Carolina Hurricanes will be without Seth Jarvis and Jaccob Slavin on Saturday as they wrap up a back-to-back in the Sunshine State.<\/p>\n

Jarvis was placed on injured reserve<\/a> Saturday afternoon after taking a nasty fall during Friday’s overtime. To fill the void at forward, the Canes recalled top prospect Bradly Nadeau. The 2023 first-round pick has 20 points in 18 games with Chicago (AHL) this season.<\/p>\n

The forward group may also be without Jordan Martinook, who went down with a lower-body injury during Wednesday’s win in Nashville. Rod Brind’Amour called him day-to-day yesterday.<\/p>\n

On the blue line, Mike Reilly is expected to dress for the first time since Dec. 7 with Slavin sidelined. Brind’Amour explained pre-game that Slavin sitting out tonight is a part of his plan as he eases his way back in from a lower-body injury that kept him out of the lineup for two months.<\/p>\n

Behind the cast of skaters, the Canes will either go with Pyotr Kochetkov or Frederik Andersen in net.<\/p>\n

Kochetkov was solid on Wednesday in Nashville, improving to 6-1 with a 25\/26 victory over the Predators. Andersen remains awaiting his next opportunity to try and get back in the win column after going 0-4-2 in his last six outings. His last start was Dec. 4.<\/p>\n
