Hurricanes' Dmitry Orlov: Not ready to return

Orlov (upper body) won't play Saturday against Philadelphia.

The Hurricanes hope Orlov will be an option to return against San Jose on Thursday. The 33-year-old defenseman has four goals, 24 points, 88 hits and 49 blocks in 62 appearances in 2024-25. Scott Morrow is expected to remain in the lineup Saturday due to Orlov's continued absence.
