Based on line rushes in Monday's practice, it looks like Haula could sit Tuesday vs. the Jets. Haula has missed time due to a knee injury this season, so scratching him on Tuesday could be a way to give him an extra couple of days off before the Hurricanes bye week. Jordan Martinook would replace Haula if he's out.
Hamilton was injured late in the second period on Thursday. Hamilton and Kevin Stenlund were chasing after the puck when they had their legs tangle, Hamilton falling backward and bending his left leg under him. Hamilton will undergo further evaluation before they decide on potential surgery. Jordan Staal suffered a similar injury in a preseason exhibition game in September 2014 against the Buffalo Sabres. Staal underwent surgery to repair a broken fibula and had an estimated recovery time of three to four months.
Hamilton suffered an ugly-looking leg injury during Thursday's loss in Columbus. He was tangled up with Kevin Stenlund and went down very awkwardly. Hamilton had to be helped off of the ice and when head coach Rod Brind'Amour addressed the media post-game, he said that "it doesn't look good, obviously." It looks like the Hurricanes could be without their All-Star defenseman long-term but expect an update in the next 24 hours.
Hughes was forced to leave Tuesday's game in Toronto with an illness but was back on the ice for Thursday's morning skate and will play in Washington. Hughes comes in with five points (2G / 3A) in his last nine games.
Dowling has been a healthy scratch for the last seven games but will play Tuesday because Radek Faksa is out with an upper-body injury. Dowling has registered three goals and three assists (six points) in 24 games this season.

It's unclear when Bernier suffered the injury because he finished Friday's shootout win over the Senators but then did not come out for warmups on Sunday. Head coach Jeff Blashill expects him to miss at least a couple of weeks, leaning on Jimmy Howard and Calvin Pickard as their goalies moving forward.
