“It’s probably the biggest step I’ve had so far, being able to get out of that (noncontact jersey), being able to take contact now,” Jarvis said. “Now it’s just a matter of getting comfortable and making sure it’s ready to go.”<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old initially injured his shoulder during the 2023-24 season but opted to play through any issues the past two seasons, including 71 regular-season games and another 19 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs to help the Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup last season. He also played five games for Team Canada at the 2026 Winter Olympics in February.<\/p>\n
“The shoulder is good. It’s doing well,” Jarvis said. “There’s nothing that really bothers it anymore, which is nice. Just easing into contact is the biggest step right now.”<\/p>\n
Eric Robinson<\/a> and William Carrier<\/a> each have played in Jarvis’\u00a0usual spot on a line with Sebastian Aho<\/a> and Andrei Svechnikov<\/a>. Through four games,\u00a0Aho has seven points (four goals, three assists) and Svechnikov has four points (one goal, three assists).<\/p>\n “I think they’ve been aggressive,” Jarvis said. “They’ve done a really good job of not really playing on the perimeter and being a little more direct with our offense. I think shooting has been a big part, especially for (Aho). I think he can sometimes defer a little too much. He has a really good shot.”<\/p>\n Jarvis led Carolina with 32 goals last season and had 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in 19 playoff games.<\/p>\n “It’s a good sign. There’s a timeline, so we’re just following that,” coach Rod\u00a0Brind’Amour said. “He’s feeling good, so just keep moving along.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“It’s probably the biggest step I’ve had so far, being able to get out of that (noncontact jersey),…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":875564,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-875563","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/875563","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=875563"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/875563\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/875564"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=875563"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=875563"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=875563"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
