Nadeau has appeared in six NHL games this season, registering one goal and zero assists. The move likely indicates that one of William Carrier (lower-body) or Eric Robinson (upper-body) are ready to return to the Hurricanes lineup.

Primeau has struggled with the Maple Leafs this season, posting an ugly 4.30 GAA and .838 SV% in three games (2-1-0). He could be recalled by the Maple Leafs after playing a game with the Marlies on Friday, but his time with the NHL club is likely coming to an end, as Joseph Woll is nearing a return to the lineup.

Chatfield suffered an upper-body injury midway through the first period in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Minnesota Wild and did not return to the game. The 29-year-old Chatfield is averaging a career-high 19:50 time-on-ice and has three points (0G / 3A) in 13 games this season.

Gostisbehere returned to the Hurricanes lineup last Tuesday from a multi-game absence due to a lower-body injury, but only lasted until the second period, exiting the game with 7:19 time-on-ice because of a mid-body injury. The 32-year-old Gostisbehere has been impressive offensively when in the lineup this season, with seven points (1G / 6A) in six games. There has not been a concrete timeline for his potential return to the lineup.

With K'Andre Miller returning from an injury on Thursday against the Minnesota Wild, Legault will likely be the odd man out as a healthy scratch. The 22-year-old, in his first NHL season, is averaging 13:26 time-on-ice and has zero points through six games.

Pyotr Kochetkov (lower-body) made an impressive season debut in Carolina's most recent game, securing a 3-0 shutout win over the New York Rangers, but will serve as the backup to Frederik Andersen on Thursday as the team will seemingly return to the goalie rotation they have showcased over the past several seasons. Andersen has been serviceable, but unspectacular this season, posting a 2.96 GAA and .894 SV% in seven games (4-3-0). He saved 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in his previous outing, a 2-1 loss to the Boston Bruins. The Hurricanes enter Thursday's contest as -190 home favorites against a Minnesota Wild team riding a two-game winning streak.

Miller has not played since suffering a lower-body injury on October 20th, but will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Minnesota Wild. The 25-year-old Miller was off to a strong start with the Hurricanes, averaging 23:32 time-on-ice and scoring four points (2G / 2A) in six games while spending some time quarterback the team's top powerplay unit.

Fensore made his season debut on October 28th but has not played since. The 24-year-old blueliner has picked up seven points (3G / 4A) in five AHL games this season.

Kochetkov posted a 2.60 GAA and .897 SV% in 47 appearances with the Hurricanes last season (27-16-3), and will make his Hurricanes’ season debut on Tuesday against the New York Rangers. The Hurricanes enter Tuesday's contest as slight -110 road favorites against the Rangers.

Jarvis suffered an undisclosed injury and exited Thursday's 6-2 win over the New York Islanders in the third period. The 23-year-old Jarvis has been held off the scoresheet in three straight but has still been productive in the early stages of the 2025-26 season, scoring 11 points (7G / 4A) in 10 games. He appeared to suffer the injury on a shot block. Hurricanes' head coach Rod Brind'Amour originally stated that the injury "doesn't look great," but the team seems to have avoided a serious injury, as he could return to the lineup on Saturday.

Miller participated in Carolina's pregame warmup last Thursday but was a late scratch due to a lower-body injury and has been sidelined since. The 25-year-old Miller was off to a strong start with the Hurricanes, averaging 23:32 time-on-ice and scoring four points (2G / 2A) in six games.

The 26-year-old Kochetkov posted a 2.60 GAA and .897 SV% in 47 appearances last season (27-16-3).
