Overview
- Carolina announced that defenseman Jaccob Slavin and forward Seth Jarvis are sidelined on a week-to-week basis.
- Jarvis was injured in overtime when Evan Rodrigues struck his skate, sending him into the goal post, and he was placed on injured reserve.
- Head coach Rod Brind’Amour believes Slavin’s issue stems from a hit by A.J. Greer during the Dec. 19 game in Sunrise.
- Slavin had just returned from a two‑month lower‑body absence and was being eased back with reduced minutes across three games.
- The division-leading Hurricanes are assessing short-term depth options and face the Panthers again on Tuesday, with reporting indicating Slavin’s Olympic availability is still expected.
