Hurricanes' Jayden Perron: Three helpers in Michigan's win
Rotowire
Perron notched three assists in the University of Michigan's 5-4 overtime win over Ohio State University on Sunday.
Perron has worked well in his fourth year of college, earning 10 goals and nine assists across his first nine games of the year. He broke out with 41 points in 40 games for the Wolverines last season, but his offense is poised to rise to higher levels in 2026-27. The 21-year-old winger will be a candidate to sign an entry-level deal once his NCAA season is complete, as he has little left to prove in college.

Hurricanes' Filip Ekberg: Earns three points in OHL win
Rotowire
Ekberg scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Ottawa's 7-6 overtime win over Oshawa on Sunday.
Ekberg has earned seven multi-point efforts in 14 outings for the 67's this season. The Swedish forward is up to six goals and 14 helpers on the year, and he's also added a plus-10 rating. The Hurricanes prospect has taken a noticeable step forward on offense, which is good progress to make for the 2025 seventh-rounder.
Kochetkov will protect the home net against Winnipeg on Sunday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.
Kochetkov has stopped 170 of 185 shots during his nine-game winning streak to begin the 2026-27 campaign. He made 21 saves in a 3-2 win over the Jets on Oct. 17. Winnipeg (4-7-3) ranks 29th in the league this season with 2.43 goals per game.
Hurricanes' Jordan Martinook: Tallies opening goal
Rotowire
Martinook scored a goal on three shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Martinook opened the scoring at 15:51 of the first period. He's earned a goal and three helpers over his last four contests. The 34-year-old winger remains firmly in a third-line role this year. That's a spot that has seen him rack at least 29 points in four straight regular seasons. He's off to a positive start with two goals, five helpers, 23 shots, 21 hits, six PIM, six blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over 15 outings this season.

Hurricanes' Mark Jankowski: Buries goal Thursday
Rotowire
Jankowski scored a goal on two shots and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Jankowski didn't score in his return from a four-game absence due to a lower-body injury. He was able to get back on the scoresheet in his second game back. He's returned to a third-line role which has proved fruitful for the 32-year-old since Jordan Staal (calf) went down. Jankowski has seven goals, one assist, 17 shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots and a plus-2 rating over 11 appearances. Don't expect this level of offense to last all season -- Jankowski has never had more than 17 goals or 32 points in a season, and those marks came from his first two campaigns.

Hurricanes' Logan Stankoven: Tallies in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Stankoven scored a goal on three shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Stankoven has had a nose for the net lately with five goals and an assist over his last five games. The 23-year-old continues to occupy a top-six role for the Hurricanes, who are rolling right along during their title defense. Stankoven is up to nine goals, three assists, 46 shots on net and a plus-11 rating over 15 appearances. His 19.6 shooting percentage is much higher than usual, but he'll likely make up for the eventual decline in efficiency by producing more helpers.

Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis: Two helpers in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Jarvis picked up two assists in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
The 24-year-old winger set up Jordan Martinook for a tally late in the first period before feeding Mark Jankowski for what proved to be the game-winner just 16 seconds into the third. Jarvis has gotten onto the scoresheet in three of four games since his delayed start to the season, producing one goal and five points with six hits, nine shots on net and a plus-4 rating. He could have a hard time maintaining that pace, however -- Jarvis averaged 20 power-play points over the prior three seasons while skating primarily on the first unit, but he's been stuck on the second unit since his return and is still looking for his first point of 2026-27 with the man advantage.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Hangs on for ninth straight win
Rotowire
Kochetkov stopped 24 shots in Thursday's 3-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Carolina held a 3-0 lead after Mark Jankowski scored just 16 seconds into the third period, but Kochetkov needed to be sharp as Columbus staged a rally in the final frame that fell just short. The 27-year-old goalie remains unbeaten, going 9-0-0 with a 1.66 GAA and .919 save percentage to begin the Hurricanes' defense of their Stanley Cup championship.
Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Slated to start Thursday
Rotowire
Kochetkov is expected to start Thursday's home game against the Blue Jackets, Peter Dewar of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Kochetkov has had a stellar start to the 2026-27 campaign, and he's set to start a third consecutive game Thursday. Across his eight starts to begin the regular season, he's gone 8-0-0 with a 1.61 GAA and .918 save percentage.

Hurricanes' Taylor Hall: Set to miss a few more games
Rotowire
Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Thursday that Hall (undisclosed) will miss a few more games, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Hall was already expected to miss more time after the Hurricanes announced Tuesday that he had tweaked something different from his previous upper-body injury. While the exact nature of his new injury aren't yet clear, the 34-year-old is expected to be sidelined for multiple additional games following his setback.
Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: Tallies in Tuesday's win
Rotowire
Blake scored a goal on four shots, added four PIM and doled out two hits in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Bruins.
Blake has two goals and four assists during his four-game point streak. The 23-year-old winger is up to three goals, 11 helpers, 42 shots, eight PIM and a plus-9 rating over 14 appearances this season. With a steady top-six role and power-play time, Blake is thriving, especially considering his 7.1 shooting percentage so far this year is noticeably lower than his first two campaigns. The point-per-game pace might not stick, but he's poised for another step up.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Pots first GWG of season
Rotowire
Aho scored the game-winning goal in Tuesday's 2-1 victory over the Bruins.
The star center finished an odd-man rush midway through the third period on the counter-attack, as Aho was just able to get his stick on Andrei Svechnikov's centering pass and tap a backhand past Jeremy Swayman. It was Aho's first GWG of the season, but hardly his first clutch moment -- 69 of his 318 career regular-season tallies have been game-winners, along with nine of his 39 playoff goals. Through 14 games to begin 2026-27, Aho's delivered eight goals and 19 points, including three goals and three assists on the power play.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Remains unbeaten
Rotowire
Kochetkov made 14 saves in Tuesday's 2-1 win over the Bruins.
The 27-year-old netminder's perfect record looked as though it might be in jeopardy when Pavel Zacha scored on a power play just 91 seconds into the contest, but Carolina's defense stayed stingy, Kochetkov handled everything else fired his way, and Sebastian Aho eventually banged home the game-winner midway through the third period. Kochetkov has seized the No. 1 job in the 'Canes crease by going 8-0-0 to begin the season with a dazzling 1.61 GAA and .918 save percentage.

Hurricanes' Taylor Hall: Will miss more time
Rotowire
Hall (undisclosed) tweaked something different from his previous upper-body injury and will miss time, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports Tuesday.
Hall came off injured reserve Monday but was unable to get back into the lineup due to his new injury. The winger's return will be delayed further, and he doesn't have a firm timeline beyond day-to-day. Hall's absence keeps the door open for Nicolas Deslauriers to stay in the lineup.
Hall (undisclosed) won't play versus the Bruins on Tuesday, Emily Kaplan of ESPN reports.
Hall was expected to play Tuesday after being activated from injured reserve Monday. Instead, he reportedly is dealing with a new issue that will keep him out of the lineup on a day-to-day basis. Hall's next chance to play is Thursday versus the Blue Jackets.
