Hurricanes' Seth Jarvis Leaves With Upper-Body Injury After Teammate's High Stick

Carolina awaits further evaluation for its leading goal scorer after a fluke high stick to the face.

Overview

  • Jarvis was struck in or near the eye by Andrei Svechnikov’s stick behind the net during the first period against Vancouver.
  • Trainers attended to Jarvis on the ice and he left with a towel held to his face before the team ruled him out for the night.
  • The Hurricanes listed the injury as upper-body and have not provided a diagnosis or timetable for his return.
  • Jarvis, 23, entered the game as Carolina’s leading goal scorer with 10 goals and is a key piece of the lineup.
  • Carolina also lost Jesperi Kotkaniemi to a separate lower-body injury, adding to the team’s short-term lineup concerns.
