Gerbe has only appeared in one NHL game this season but will dress for his second on Thursday with Zac Dalpe (personal) out. Gerbe has scored four goals with six assists (10 points) in 13 AHL games.
Gerbe missed Saturday’s practice and is questionable to play Sunday vs. the Canucks. Head coach John Tortorella said that Murray is “nicked up” and Ryan MacInnis was recalled from Cleveland (AHL) as a precaution.
Gerbe has scored eight goals with 17 assists (25 points) in 30 AHL games this season. He has appeared in 396 career NHL games but hasn't played since 2017-18 but will get a chance on Monday with Oliver Bjorkstrand out for one month.
Gerbe has been playing in Switzerland for the last two seasons, picking up 13 goals and 22 assists (35 points) in 45 games. Gerbe will be placed on waivers to be sent to Cleveland (AHL). The diminutive forward has 138 points (58G / 80A) in 394 career NHL games with the Sabres and Hurricanes.
Grebe, 28, had a terrible 2015-16 season that was hampered by injuries. He appeared in just 47 games and scored just three times with four assists. Despite the off-year, the Rangers still came calling and he will look to crack their bottom-6 in training camp.
Gerbe was injured in Sunday’s game against the Kings and will miss at least one month with a lower-body injury. With Gerbe out, Chris Terry returned to the lineup on Monday. Expect the Hurricanes to recall a forward now that Gerbe has been placed on IR.
Gerbe was on the ice for Hurricanes practice this morning and took line rushes in Jiri Tluty's spot on the second line. Likely not an indication of where he will play when he returns, but coach Bill Peters said he would be shocked if Gerbe can't play this weekend after a four-game absence.
Another game, another injury for the Hurricanes. They are already down three top forwards and a top pair defenseman and you can now add Gerbe to that list. There is no word on how serious the injury is, but we should get an update in the near future. He had one goal while averaging 17 minutes a night through four games.
Gerbe has three goals and three assists in his first 11 games as a Hurricane. Carolina is forced to juggle their lines with Jeff Skinner out, and the team struggling to win games.
Gerbe has three goals and three assists in his first nine games as a Hurricane. That would put him on pace for 54 points, which would smash his previous career high of 31 in 2010-11 with Buffalo.
Gerbe, 26, netted five goals and added five assists in 42 games for the Buffalo Sabres in 2012-13.
Gerbe still has some offensive potential and could catch on with another team in the right situation.
Gerbe is set to make his season debut on the Sabres third line with Grigorenko and Ott.
