Goalie Start
Andersen will start the Hurricanes season opener on Thursday.
Smith (lower-body) was placed on IR but is questionable to play in the Devils season opener.
Smith is battling an undisclosed lower-body injury that landed him on IR on Monday but he remains eligible to play in the season opener if he's healthy enough. The Devils don't start their season until Friday, so keep an eye on Smith's status throughout the week.
The Hurricanes have placed Jake Gardiner (back/hip) on LTIR.
Carrier is in concussion protocol and doubtful for Tuesday's season opener.
The Stars have signed Logan Stankoven to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Hurricanes have signed Ronan Seeley to a three-year, entry-level contract.
Seeley was a seventh-round pick of the Hurricanes in 2020. The 6-foot-1, 192 lbs. defenseman had five goals and 12 assists (17 points) in 23 games with the Everett Silvertips (WHL).
The Hurricanes have acquired Jesperi Kotkaniemi from the Canadiens. The Hurricanes have given up a 2022 1st and 3rd round picks for signing Kotkaniemi to a one-year, $6.1 million contract via offer sheet.
The Hurricanes have re-signed Andrei Svechnikov to a eight-year contract worth $62 million.
The Hurricanes have signed Derek Stepan to a one-year contract.
The Canucks have acquired Spencer Martin from the Lightning for future considerations.
The Maple Leafs have signed Ondrej Kase to a one-year contract.
The Hurricanes have signed Jalen Chatfield to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Avalanche have re-signed Tyson Jost to a two-year deal worth $4.0 million ($2.0M AAV).
The Coyotes have signed Ryan Dzingel to a one-year deal worth $1.1M.
The Blue Jackets have signed Eric Robinson to a two-year extension worth $3.2 million ($1.6M AAV).
The Hurricanes have signed Frederik Andersen to a two-year contract worth $9.0 million ($4.5M AAV).
The Hurricanes have signed Jordan Martinook to a three-year contract extension worth $5.4 million ($1.8M AAV).
The Jets have signed Paul Stastny to a one-year contract worth $3.75 million.
Stastny is still an effective veteran and will stick around with the Jets for another year. He had 29 points (13G / 16A) in 56 games last year and is still capable of filling a top-6 role in 2021-22.
The Bruins have signed Taylor Hall to a four-year contract extension worth $24.0 million ($6.0M AAV).
Hall had a slow start with the Sabres in 2021 but found his stride after a midseason trade to the Bruins. Once in Boston, Hall was tied for 32nd with 14 points (8G / 6A) in 16 games. Hall was the perfect fit for the Bruins' second line and signs a very reasonable $6.0M AAV deal to stay with them for the next four years.
