Jarvis was a late scratch on Monday with his absence not being announced prior to warmups, did not play on Wednesday, and will likely miss some more time due to an upper-body injury. The 22-year-old Jarvis has 11 points (4G / 7A) in 13 games this season.
Originally expected to be a minor injury, Hurricanes' head coach Rod Brind'Amour revealed on Friday that Andersen will be out of the lineup for the foreseeable future. Adding insult to injury for the Hurricanes, Pyotr Kochetkov (undisclosed) suffered an injury on Wednesday and might be unable to suit up on Saturday. Expect Spencer Martin to control the Hurricanes' crease during this uncertain time between the pipes for the Hurricanes.
Kochetkov left Wednesday's game against Utah HC, leaving the contest after allowing three goals on 18 shots (.833 SV%), due to an undisclosed injury. If Kochetkov is unable to play on Saturday, expect the Hurricanes to recall a goalie to serve as the backup to Spencer Martin.
Smith was the 17th overall pick of the New Jersey Devils in the 2018 NHL Entry Draft but has had trouble establishing himself at the NHL level. The 24-year-old puck-moving defenseman has not played an NHL game since a nine-game stint with the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2022-23 season.
Kochetkov did not finish Wednesday's game against Utah HC, leaving the contest after allowing three goals on 18 shots (.833 SV%), due to an undisclosed injury. The Hurricanes do not practice on Thursday so an update will likely not be available until Friday. With Frederik Andersen (lower body) already sidelined, the Hurricanes might have to rely on Spencer Martin to tend the twine in the interim if Kochetkov's injury lingers.
The Hurricanes' eight-game winning streak was snapped on Saturday, but they returned to the win column after Kochetkov saved 30 of 32 shots (.938 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has been solid for the Hurricanes this season, especially stepping up in the absence of Frederik Andersen (lower body), posting a .911 SV% during a seven-game winning streak. The Hurricanes enter Wednesday's contest as sizeable -197 road favorites against the Utah Hockey Club.

Stillman was signed by the Hurricanes in the offseason but has yet to play a game in the 2024-25 season. His last NHL game was in the 2022-23 season as a member of the Buffalo Sabres when he had three points (1G / 2A) in 18 games.

Spencer Martin was the starting goalie for the Hurricanes on Saturday, a 6-4 loss to the Colorado Avalanche, snapping an eight-game winning streak. As such, the Hurricanes will quickly revert to the services of Kochetkov between the pipes on Monday in a contest against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has been solid for the Hurricanes this season, especially establishing himself since the injury to Frederik Andersen (lower body), posting a 2.51 GA and .896 SV% in eight games (7-1-0). The Hurricanes enter the action on Monday as -149 road favorites against a Golden Knights club without Mark Stone for a second straight game.

With Frederik Andersen (lower body) still sidelined, the Hurricanes will turn to Kochetkov between the pipes for a fifth straight game. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has a pedestrian 2.72 GAA and .878 SV%, partly due to the Hurricanes' elite shot suppression, which has translated to an excellent 6-1-0 record. The Hurricanes own a league-best seven-game winning streak and enter the action on Thursday as significant -262 home favorites against a Pittsburgh Penguins club they defeated 4-1 less than three weeks ago.

The Hurricanes, riding a six-game winning streak, will roll with Kochetkov between the pipes for the fourth straight game. Kochetkov has been tremendous lately, allowing three or fewer goals in his last four outings (4-0-0), posting a respectable .905 SV%. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has a 2.51 GAA and .893 SV% in six outings this season (5-1-1) and will continue to see most of the action in the crease for the Hurricanes as long as Frederik Andersen (lower-body) is sidelined. The Hurricanes enter Tuesday's contest as sizeable -298 home favorites against the Philadelphia Flyers.
With Frederik Andersen still sidelined due to a minor injury, the Hurricanes will roll with Kochetkov for a second consecutive game. The 25-year-old Kochetkov has won three of four starts (3-1-0), allowing three or fewer goals three times, posting a 2.77 GAA and .894 SV%. The Hurricanes, riding a four-game winning streak, enter the action on Thursday as -169 home favorites against a Boston Bruins club with a 4-5-1 record.
After being re-evaluated, the Hurricanes received bad news regarding Andersen's lower-body injury, downgrading his initial day-to-status to week-to-week. The only positive news regarding Andersen's injury is that it is not related to the blood clotting issues that caused him to miss most of the 2023-24 season. The 35-year-old netminder has a 1.48 GAA and .941 SV% through four outings this season (3-1-0). Expect Pytor Kochetkov to control the Hurricanes' crease in Andersen's absence.
