Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Slated to face Kraken
Kochetkov is expected to guard the home goal in Saturday's game against the Kraken, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
After Brandon Bussi started the Hurricanes' first game in Helsinki, Finland, Kochetkov is expected to get his turn between the pipes Saturday. The 27-year-old backstop has been one of the league's best netminder this season, as he's compiled an 11-1-0 record, a 1.67 GAA, two shutouts and a .920 save percentage over 12 appearances this season. He remains a must-start in all fantasy formats moving forward, including for Saturday's favorable matchup against the Kraken.

Hurricanes' Jordan Staal: Activated from IR
Staal (calf) was activated from injured reserve Saturday.
After a 14-game absence with a torn calf muscle, Staal appears on track to return to the lineup against Seattle on Saturday. He hasn't earned a point in six appearances this campaign, but he has collected six shots on net, three blocked shots and 19 hits.

Hurricanes' Mike Reilly: Going on waivers
Reilly will be placed on waivers Saturday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
In a corresponding move, Staal (calf) was removed from injured reserve ahead of Saturday's contest against Seattle. Reilly has been a healthy scratch for the last 10 games. He has two assists, nine shots on net, six blocked shots and 15 hits in eight NHL appearances this season.

Hurricanes' Juuso Valimaki: Scores in home country
Valimaki scored a goal on four shots in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Kraken in the NHL Global Series.
The Finland native was able to find the back of the net in his home country. Valimaki has played well when given a chance this year, earning three goals and one assist over nine outings. He's also picked up 12 shots on net, nine blocked shots, 12 PIM and a plus-7 rating. However, with Alexander Nikishin back in the picture, Valimaki's playing time is likely to turn intermittent until an injury opens up a steadier spot for him.

Hurricanes' Jordan Staal: Game-time call
Staal (calf) will be a game-time decision versus the Kraken on Saturday after head coach Rod Brind'Amour told reporters, "So, we'll find out probably tomorrow after you know gets through the morning, and hopefully he does play," per Tom Gulitti of NHL.com.
Staal looks poised to get back into the lineup for the first time since Oct. 10 versus the Blackhawks. Prior to getting hurt, the veteran center was struggling offensively, with zero points in six games while producing six shots, 19 hits and three blocks. In addition to his five-on-five role, Staal will likely be in the mix for power-play ice time.

Hurricanes' K'Andre Miller: Two-point effort in Finland
Miller picked up two assists in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Kraken in Helsinki.
The 26-year-old blueliner extended a modest point streak to three games with his first multi-point performance of the season to begin the NHL's Global Series. Miller hasn't scored a goal in 15 games, but he's been making steady secondary contributions over that stretch with six assists, 26 shots on net, 16 hits, 12 blocked shots and a plus-12 rating.

Hurricanes' Logan Stankoven: Two helpers in Global Series win
Stankoven pocketed two assists in Thursday's 4-1 win over Seattle.
The 23-year-old center had a hand in tallies by Nikolaj Ehlers in the first period and Juuso Valimaki in the second. Stankoven has gotten onto the scoresheet in six straight games and nine of the last 10, and on the season he's produced 11 goals and 20 points in 20 contests as he rockets toward a breakout campaign.

Hurricanes' Nikolaj Ehlers: Two-point effort in Thursday's win
Ehlers produced an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.
Both points came in the first period, as Ehlers opened the scoring midway through the frame by snapping a long-range shot through traffic past Philipp Grubauer before helping to set up a Sebastian Aho tally just over a minute later. Ehlers has caught fire over the last few weeks, delivering four goals and 12 points in the last 10 games with 27 shots on net and an impressive plus-12 rating.

Hurricanes' Sebastian Aho: Lights lamp twice against Kraken
Aho scored two goals, one the game-winner on the power play, in Thursday's 4-1 win over Seattle.
Skating in front of family and friends in Helsinki to begin this season's Global Series, Aho gave Carolina a 2-0 lead in the first period by getting his stick on a Jackson Blake shot-pass as it zipped through the crease. Aho has racked up three straight multi-point performances, and he's on pace to shatter his previous career scoring high with 12 goals and 28 points through 20 games, although it will be tough for the 29-year-old to maintain his current 21.4 percent shooting.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Not busy in Global Series victory
Bussi made 12 saves in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Kraken.
He nearly recorded his first shutout of 2026-27 as the Hurricanes dominated the first game of this season's NHL Global Series, but Frederick Gaudreau snapped a puck past Bussi midway through the third period. The 28-year-old netminder has started two of the last three games as he tries to work his way back into a timeshare with Pyotr Kocketkov, and on the season Bussi has gone 4-2-2 in eight starts with a 2.96 GAA and .872 save percentage.

Hurricanes' Brandon Bussi: Set to start Thursday
Bussi is slated to be between the pipes for Thursday's Global Series matchup with Seattle.
Bussi will make just his second appearance over the Canes' last eight contests, having secured a 24-save victory over the Islanders on Nov. 5. While the 28-year-old netminder entered the 2026-27 campaign as the presumptive No. 1 option, he's been outplayed and replaced as the starter by Pyotr Kochetkov. Still, if Bussi can put together some strong performances, he could force his way into the goalie mix with more regularity.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Expected to play Thursday
Carrier (knee) is set to suit up in Thursday's clash with Seattle, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.
Carrier was taken out of Saturday's game versus the Blackhawks for precautionary reasons but appears to be no worse for wear. The veteran winger has found the back of the net just once this season, though that tally came Nov. 5 versus the Islanders and could be the spark Carrier needs to get going.

Hurricanes' Taylor Hall: Pockets assist Saturday
Hall logged an assist and three shots on goal in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Hall missed nine games due to a pair of upper-body injuries. Since his return to action, he's filled a third-line role. He's at six points, 22 shots on net, nine hits and a plus-1 rating over 10 appearances this season. Hall should be capable of being a secondary scorer from the middle six, and he should also be in the mix for power-play time.

Hurricanes' Eric Robinson: Offers two assists in win
Robinson logged two assists and a plus-3 rating in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Robinson hasn't scored in his last 11 games, but he has five helpers, 19 hits and 13 shots on net in that span. The 31-year-old continues to be a regular on the Hurricanes' fourth line, though he has the flexibility to move around the lineup as necessary. He's produced two goals, seven helpers, 26 shots on net, 36 hits and a plus-9 rating across 19 outings this season.

Hurricanes' Jesperi Kotkaniemi: Adds pair of helpers
Kotkaniemi notched two assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Blackhawks.
Kotkaniemi has maintained some consistency on offense all season, but this was his first multi-point effort. He's earned two goals and two assists over four contests in November. The Finnish forward has five goals, five helpers, 20 shots on net, 18 hits and a plus-7 rating through 17 appearances on the year. He'll get to play in his native country with the Hurricanes set to face the Kraken for two games in Finland as part of the NHL Global Series.

Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis: Lights lamp in blowout win
Jarvis scored a goal on two shots in Saturday's 9-2 win over the Blackhawks.
This was Jarvis' first goal since he scored in his season debut Oct. 22 versus the Oilers. The winger had gone two contests without a point prior to Saturday. He's at two goals, six assists, 15 shots on net, 11 hits and a plus-3 rating over eight appearances on the year, working in a third-line role at even strength. The Hurricanes' deep offense should be enough to keep Jarvis productive most of the time.
