Carolina Hurricanes News
Andersen is undergoing evaluations for an undisclosed medical issue.

A concrete update has not been provided yet but Andersen did not participate in practice on Monday due to an undisclosed medical issue. Anderson has a 2.87 GAA and .894 SV% in six games this season (4-1-0). If he misses any significant time, Antti Raanta will be the likely candidate to take on most of the Hurricanes' goaltending duties. The Hurricanes also announced on Monday that veteran goalie Jaroslav Halak will be joining the team on a free-agent tryout.

Mike Reilly will make his Panthers' debut Monday vs. Columbus.

After being a healthy scratch for the Panthers' first 10 games, Reilly will make his season debut on Monday against the Blue Jackets. The 30-year-old defenseman has 339 NHL games, tallying 98 points (12G / 86A) and 132 penalty minutes. Uvis Balinskis is expected to be a healthy scratch for the Panthers.

Will Carrier (illness) is expected to return Saturday vs. Colorado.

Carrier missed the Golden Knights' previous game due to illness but is expected to return Saturday vs. Colorado after taking part in the team's morning skate. The 28-year-old left-winger has two goals, 11 SOG, and two PIMs in eight games played in a complimentary role this season while averaging only 10:25 TOI.

Hall (shoulder) will return to the Blackhawks lineup on Saturday.

Hall missed the Blackhawks' previous three-games due to a shoulder injury and was originally touted as week-to-week but will surprisingly return Saturday vs. Florida. The 31-year-old left-winger has twice missed time due to his injured shoulder so far leading to him missing five total games this season but has two assists, seven SOG, two PIMs and a -1 plus/minus in five games played.

Taylor Hall
Taylor Hall (shoulder) returned to practice Friday but is still without a return date.

Hall's return date is still uncertain but his presence at practice on Friday is a very encouraging sign for a Blackhawks team that has been outscored 23-8 in their last five games (1-4-0). Hall had two points (0G / 2A) in five games before being placed on the injured reserve on October 23rd.

Andersen will start in New York against the Rangers on Thursday.

After a slow start to the season, the Hurricanes are in the midst of a three-game winning streak and will likely turn to Andersen for his second consecutive start. In his last two games (2-0-0), Andersen has saved 50 of 54 shots (.926 SV%) and appears to be returning to form after posting a .855 SV% in his first three appearances (2-0-0). Despite their recent success, the Hurricanes are slight +100 road underdogs as they visit the 7-2-0 New York Rangers, who have outscored their opposition 17-7 during a five-game winning streak.

Andersen will start in Philadelphia on Monday.

Andersen will be the starter for the Hurricanes on Monday as they face off against the Philadelphia Flyers. Despite his perfect 3-0-0 record to start the season, Andersen has been anything but perfect with a lowly 3.38 GAA and .875 SV%. Andersen has never finished a season with a goals-against average greater than 2.96 but has plenty of time to correct his totals, starting tonight as the Hurricanes are -180 road favourites.

Andrei Svechnikov (knee) will make his season debut Friday vs. San Jose.

Svechnikov will make his season debut tonight after suffering a knee injury and subsequent season-ending knee surgery late last season. Svechnikov, who has missed the Hurricanes' first eight games of the season, might be eased into the lineup after missing a significant amount of time but should find himself back in the top-six and top powerplay unit before long. The 23-year-old winger had 55 points (23G / 32A) in 64 games last season.

Frederik Andersen will start Thursday vs. Seattle.

Andersen has not played since October 17th due to a upper-body injury but did back up Pyotr Kotchetkov on Tuesday and will start Thursday vs. Seattle. The 34-year-old veteran is undefeated at 2-0-0 despite his unimpressive .855 SV% and 4.14 GAA. He will face the Seattle Kraken Thursday, who have won two of their last three games but rank 28th in the NHL in goals per game (2.29).

Pyotr Kochetkov has been reassigned to Syracuse (AHL).

Kochetkov has been reassigned to the Syracuse Crunch of the AHL after making appearances in three consecutive games for the Hurricanes. In those three games (0-3-0), Kotchetkov was unremarkable, as has been the entire Hurricanes roster to start the season, posting a 4.33 GAA and .836 SV%. The Hurricanes will turn back to the tandem of Frederik Andersen and Antti Raanta in between the pipes.

Pyotr Kochetkov
Aho (upper-body) is on the ice for warmups and is expected to play Tuesday in Tampa.

The Hurricanes will welcome Aho back into their lineup on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Aho has missed the last three games after suffering an upper-body injury. He has three points (1G / 2A) and eight shots while averaging 21:00 time-on-ice through three games this season. He will immediately retake his place on the Hurricanes' first line and top power-play unit.

Sebastian Aho
Kochetkov will start in Tampa Bay on Tuesday.

Kochetkov will be looking for a bounce-back performance after giving up six goals on only 28 shots in Saturday's 6-4 loss to the Avalanche. Widely considered to be Carolina's goalie of the future, the 24-year-old netminder will need to find his game quickly if he's going to take advantage of Antti Raanta's slow start and the injury to Freddie Andersen (upper-body). He's not the safest start on the slate, but Kochetkov and the Hurricanes are still favoured (-130) to pick up a road victory over the Lightning tonight.

Pyotr Kochetkov
Cayden Primeau will start Tuesday vs. New Jersey.

Primeau has yet to appear in any of the Canadiens five games to start the season but will take the crease Tuesday at home vs. New Jersey. The 24-year-old was 0-2-0 with a .852 SV% and a 3.46 GAA in three games played in 2022-23 with Montreal. He draws the tough task of the New Jersey Devils, who won their last game 5-4 in overtime over NYI and are eighth in the NHL in goals for (3.75).

Cayden Primeau
Taylor Hall (shoulder) has been placed on the injured reserve.

Hall suffered a shoulder injury in game two of the season and was initially given a week-to-week prognosis and has been placed on the injured reserve Tuesday. To everyone's surprise, Hall missed only one game and returned to the lineup. Three games later, Hall seems to have reaggravated his shoulder injury and is once again going to be week-to-week because of it. Hall has played primarily with Connor Bedard this season and has two points (0G / 2A) and seven shots in five games. The Blackhawks might welcome Philipp Kurashev back into their lineup on Tuesday, which would help replace Hall on the roster.
