Gostisbehere was not at the Hurricanes' morning skate on Thursday, attending to personal matters, but is ready to play in the evening against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 31-year-old Gostisbehere continues to quarterback the top powerplay unit in Carolina and has 28 points (6G / 22A) in 40 games this season. That said, his productivity has dipped significantly, with only three points (0G / 3A) in his last 12 games after being nearly a point-per-game player with 25 points (6G / 19A) in his previous 27.

Gostisbehere only played 15:51 time-on-ice in Friday's 4-2 loss to the New Jersey Devils, and did not play on Saturday due to an upper-body injury. The 31-year-old defenseman had played every game for the Hurricanes, tallying 27 points (6G / 21A) in 35 contests. Ty Smith is slated to replaced Gostisbehere on Carolina's top powerplay unit.

Gostisbehere will return to Carolina after one very successful season in Detroit after he signed a three-year contract worth $9.6 million ($3.2M AAV). The 31-year-old completed his 10th NHL season in 2023-24 and had 10 goals and 56 points in 81 games played.

After recording nine points (3G / 6A) in his first seven games as a Red Wing, Gostisbehere went invisible, recording zero points and a -8 plus/minute rating in his last six contests, leading to his eventual healthy scratch on Thursday. He will return to the lineup on Saturday against the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Gostisbehere had 13 goals, 28 assists, 155 SOG, 32 PIMs and a -5 plus/minus through 75 games played with both Arizona and Carolina in 2022-23 and has signed a one-year deal worth $4.125 million with Detroit. The 30-year-old offensive defensemen will join his fourth NHL team and brings 87 goals, 311 points and 140 power play points across 538 career games played.

Gostisbehere left the Hurricane's morning skate wincing in pain and is now considered a game-time decision ahead of Game 5 due to an undisclosed injury. The 30-year-old was acquired at the trade deadline from Arizona and has yet to pick up a point while having five SOG and a -3 plus/minus through the first four games of the series.

Gostisbehere has 10 goals, 21 assists, 115 SOG, 28 PIMs and a -6 plus/minus through 52 games this season with Arizona and was traded to Carolina for a 2026 3rd-round pick and will make his Hurricanes' debut Friday vs. Arizona.

Gostisbehere had nine goals, 20 assists, 99 SOG, 28 PIMs and a -8 plus/minus through 48 games but will be forced to miss 4-6 weeks due to an upper-body injury. It is a big loss for Arizona as the defenseman was second on the team in points.

Gostisbehere was outstanding from 2016-to-2019, tying for 14th among defensemen with 187 points (46G / 141A) but has fallen out of favour over the last two seasons. Over that stretch he is tied for 90th but getting a second-round and seventh-round pick to take him is an easy gamble for the Coyotes. With Oliver Ekman-Larsson being traded to the Canucks, Gostisbehere should see plenty of PP time in 2021-22.
