Overview
- Jarvis was injured 20 seconds into overtime against the Panthers when contact from Evan Rodrigues sent him into the goal post, and no penalty was called on the play.
- Head coach Rod Brind’Amour said postgame that the injury is “not good” and that Jarvis is “going to be out for a while,” after he left clutching his ribs and did not return.
- Carolina used the IR roster spot to recall forward Bradley Nadeau from AHL Chicago, where he has 20 points in 18 games, and he has one goal in six NHL appearances this season.
- Jarvis leads the Hurricanes with 19 goals and has 29 points in 34 games, making his absence a significant blow and potentially affecting his Olympic candidacy for Team Canada.
- A medical expert suggested the injury could involve broken ribs with a recovery of at least four weeks if confirmed, though the team has not announced a diagnosis, and broader roster moves are constrained by the NHL roster freeze.
