Bayreuther was loaned to AHL Chicago on Saturday.
In a corresponding move, the Hurricanes brought up forward Bradly Nadeau from the minors. Bayreuther has been a healthy scratch in Carolina's last four games. He has notched three goals and three assists in nine AHL outings this campaign.

Hurricanes' Gavin Bayreuther: Called up Saturday
Rotowire
Bayreuther was recalled from AHL Chicago on Saturday.
Bayreuther has spent all season in the AHL. The 31-year-old defenseman has three goals and three assists in nine AHL contests after spending last season overseas with Lausanne HC of the Swiss League. The Hurricanes placed Jalen Chatfield (upper body) on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Bayreuther could see action as the Hurricanes' sixth defenseman, or he could be a healthy scratch as the seventh man.

Hurricanes' Gavin Bayreuther: Inks two-way deal
Rotowire
Bayreuther agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Carolina on Friday.
Bayreuther hasn't appeared in an NHL game since 2022-23 when he was with the Blue Jackets. That season, the 31-year-old blueliner notched two goals and 12 helpers in 51 tilts while averaging 15:57 of ice time. It certainly seemed like the New Hampshire native was close to becoming a full-time NHL option, but instead spent last year playing overseas with Lausanne HC, notching five goals and 18 helpers in 52 regular-season contests. At this point, if Bayreuther logs any NHL minutes, it will probably be the result of an injury among the Hurricanes' defensive group.

Blue Jackets' Gavin Bayreuther: Draws helper in loss
Rotowire
Bayreuther notched an assist in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Kings.
Bayreuther has logged three assists over his last two contests, earning points in consecutive games for the first time since January.

Blue Jackets' Gavin Bayreuther: Collects helper in OT loss
Rotowire
Bayreuther picked up an assist in Tuesday's 4-3 overtime loss to the Capitals.
He added two shots on net, two hits and two blocked shots to his ledger while getting stuck with a minus-2 rating. Bayreuther's assist did help the Jackets get a point in the standings, as the blueliner's pass from deep in his own end found Johnny Gaudreau just outside the Caps' zone and led to the tying goal midway through the third period. Somewhat quietly, Bayreuther has two goals and five points in his last 10 games, although he was a healthy scratch for seven straight games in the middle of that stretch.

Blue Jackets' Gavin Bayreuther: Scores first of the season
Rotowire
Bayreuther scored a goal on his lone shot in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Capitals.
Bayreuther tied the game 2-2 in the second period when his slapshot deflected off the pad of Darcy Kuemper and into the back of the net. It's the first goal of the season for Bayreuther and his third point in 15 games. The 28-year-old defenseman should maintain a spot in the Columbus lineup due to a rash of injuries on the blue line, but he isn't likely to provide much value for fantasy purposes.

Blue Jackets' Gavin Bayreuther: Set for call-up
Rotowire
Bayreuther will be called up by the Blue Jackets on Friday, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Bayreuther will rejoin the big club following a potential long-term injury to Zach Werenski (upper body). Bayreuther logged one appearance for the Blue Jackets in a previous stint, playing 15:09 versus the Bruins on Oct. 28. He could be in line for a fairly regular role going forward depending on how long Werenski is out.

Blue Jackets' Gavin Bayreuther: Promoted to active roster
Rotowire
Bayreuther was recalled from AHL Cleveland on Monday.
Bayreuther has collected an assist in each of his three AHL appearances this season. The 28-year-old's promotion could indicate that Nick Blankenburg (upper body) will miss some time. Bayreuther logged eight assists in 43 games with Columbus last season.

Blue Jackets' Gavin Bayreuther: Playing Saturday
Rotowire
Bayreuther (undisclosed) is in the lineup for Saturday's game versus Montreal, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports.
Bayreuther exited Thursday's win over the Sabres with an undisclosed injury, but whatever forced him from that contest evidently wasn't overly serious. The 27-year-old defender, who's picked up seven assists through 25 games this year, will skate on the third pairing against the Canadiens.

Blue Jackets' Gavin Bayreuther: Exits Thursday's game
Rotowire
Bayreuther (undisclosed) left Thursday's game versus the Sabres in the third period and will be evaluated further Friday, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
Bayreuther missed a check and went hard into the boards early in the third period. Head coach Brad Larsen noted that the defenseman was "in good spirits" after the contest, but he'll need to be checked out further. Consider the 27-year-old day-to-day ahead of Saturday's matinee in Montreal.

Rotowire
Bayreuther added an assist in a 8-4 loss to the Panthers on Monday.
Bayreuther is without a goal in 23 contests this season but does have seven assists, with two of those coming in back-to-back games. The 27-year-old is not much of a fantasy option outside of deeper leagues at this point.

Rotowire
Bayreuther cleared the NHL's COVID-19 protocols Sunday, per Aaron Portzline of The Athletic.

Blue Jackets' Gavin Bayreuther: Nabs helper in Friday's win
Rotowire
Bayreuther recorded an assist, three shots on goal and three hits in Friday's 4-2 win over the Canucks.
Bayreuther has effectively supplanted Scott Harrington as an everyday presence in the lineup. Through 10 appearances, Bayreuther has picked four assists, though they've all been earned in the last seven games. He's added 13 shots, 15 hits, 15 blocked shots and a minus-2 rating in a third-pairing role. Despite the solid offense recently, Bayreuther is unlikely to sustain this pace throughout the season.

Blue Jackets' Gavin Bayreuther: Helpers in consecutive games
Rotowire
Bayreuther produced an assist, three hits and two PIM in Monday's 5-3 win over the Red Wings.
Bayreuther has picked up assists in each of the last two contests, which certainly won't hurt his chances of staying in the lineup. He's played in five games since the start of November, logging five shots on net, seven hits, seven blocked shots and six PIM in a bottom-pairing role. The 27-year-old is hardly a threat for consistent offense, so he's unlikely to be a factor in fantasy.
