Overview

  • Carolina activated Jaccob Slavin from injured reserve after a 10-game absence with an upper-body injury.
  • Slavin recorded the game-winning assist on William Carrier’s deflection with 6:10 remaining, his 300th NHL point.
  • The Hurricanes beat the Kraken 3-2 to reach 28-14-3 and extend their streak to four games, halting Seattle’s 10-game point run.
  • Rookie goaltender Brandon Bussi earned his 16th win as Seattle was limited to a season-low 12 shots.
  • To create the roster spot for Slavin, Carolina reassigned waiver-exempt defenseman Joel Nystrom to AHL Chicago.
