Top Hurricanes News

  • Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Exits ice first Monday

    Andersen was the first goalie to leave the ice Monday, Julian McKenzie of The Athletic reports, indicating he'll be between the pipes at home for Game 2 on Monday.

    Considering Andersen secured a 22-save shutout in Game 1, there was little question that he would get the nod for Game 2. Going back to the start of April, the 36-year-old netminder is 4-1-0 with a 1.81 GAA and .921 save percentage. At this point, Andersen seems to have cemented himself as the No. 1 option in Carolina.

  • Hurricanes' Justin Robidas: Puts up three points Sunday

    Robidas scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Chicago's 5-1 win over Milwaukee on Sunday.

    Robidas ended the regular season on a five-game point streak (one goal, seven assists). He had gone 11 contests without a goal before scoring Sunday. Robidas totaled 23 goals, 60 points, 191 shots and a plus-20 rating over 58 regular-season appearances. He will continue with the Wolves during their playoff run.

  • Hurricanes' Bradly Nadeau: Logs three points in AHL win

    Nadeau scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Chicago's 5-1 win over Milwaukee.

    Nadeau wrapped up the AHL regular season at 27 goals and 56 points across 52 appearances. The forward also had three goals over 12 NHL outings. Nadeau will stay with the Wolves as long as they're in the playoffs, but he could be called up among the Black Aces if the Hurricanes' playoff run outlasts the Wolves' effort.

  • Senators' Carter Yakemchuk: Added as part of Black Aces

    Yakemchuk has been added to the active roster by the Senators, Bruce Garrioch of Postmedia reports Sunday.

    Following Saturday's 2-0 defeat in Game 1 against the Hurricanes, the Senators have added their crop of Black Aces to the roster with AHL Belleville's season officially in the books. Alongside Yakemchuk, Ottawa also added Graeme Clarke, Arthur Kaliyev, Xavier Bourgault, Oskar Pettersson and Tyler Boucher to the roster.

  • Hurricanes' Amir Miftakhov: Posts shutout in AHL win

    Miftakhov recorded a 20-save shutout in AHL Chicago's 3-0 win over Milwaukee on Saturday.

    This was Miftakhov's 50th career AHL game. He's up to 12-8-7 with a 3.25 GAA and an .888 save percentage over 28 outings this season, which includes a pair of shutouts. Miftakhov and Cayden Primeau will handle the goaltending for the Wolves without having to interrupt the team's rhythm, as the Hurricanes already have three goalies on their NHL roster for the playoffs.

  • Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Sixth career playoff shutout

    Andersen made 22 saves Saturday in a 2-0 win over Ottawa in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round.

    It was Andersen's sixth career shutout in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. The Great Dane has a strong postseason pedigree with a 47-35-0 record, 2.37 GAA and .914 save percentage in 86 starts since 2013-14 (his first season in the NHL). Andersen had yet another injury-riddled regular season in 2025-26, but it appears he's going to get a shot to carry the Canes this postseason. Brandon Bussi, who had an outstanding first regular season in the NHL but has just eight pro playoff starts (all AHL) in his career, is at the ready on the bench.

  • Hurricanes' Jackson Blake: Off to big start in postseason

    Blake had two assists in a 2-0 win against the Senators in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round on Saturday.

    He and linemates Taylor Hall and Logan Stankoven accounted for all of the Carolina offense Saturday. Blake established new career regular-season offensive marks (22 goals, 31 assists, 174 shots) in 2025-26, and he is poised for big things as Carolina drives toward its goal of lifting Lord Stanley.

  • Hurricanes' Logan Stankoven: Rising to occasion on big stage

    Stankoven delivered a goal and assist in a 2-0 win over Ottawa in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round on Saturday.

    Stankoven's goal opened the scoring and stood as the winner; it came at 2:11 of the second period. He has a reputation for rising to the occasion on big stages, including for Team Canada at the World Juniors in 2022 and 2023, and in the WHL playoffs in the same years. Stankoven could surprise this postseason after establishing new regular-season career marks in goals (21), assists (23), power-play goals (four), power-play points (nine) and shots (166).

  • Hurricanes' Taylor Hall: Two points lead way in Game 1

    Hall had a goal and an assist in a 2-0 win over Ottawa in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round on Saturday.

    Hall ripped into the postseason with eight points, including three goals, in his last six regular-season games. His line was responsible for both of Carolina's goals in Saturday's playoff opener. Center Logan Stankoven had a goal and an assist, and Jackson Blake had two helpers. Carolina often receives criticism for its lack of scoring depth, but the second line was certainly dominant in Game 1.

  • Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Tending twine in Game 1

    Andersen will protect the home goal versus Ottawa in Game 1 on Saturday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

    The Hurricanes are going with Andersen's veteran presence in goal, rather than rookie Brandon Bussi, who saw the majority of the action during the regular season. Andersen was 16-14-5 with a 3.05 GAA and a poor .874 save percentage over 35 appearances in 2025-26. Andersen gave up five goals on 30 shots in his lone appearance versus the Senators, a 6-3 loss April 5.

  • Senators' Tyler Kleven: Unavailable Saturday

    Kleven (upper body) won't play in Game 1 against Carolina on Saturday, Ryan Henkel of The Hockey News reports.

    Kleven sat out the final seven games of the regular season and won't be available for the beginning of the playoffs. However, the Senators hope to have the 24-year-old blueliner back in the lineup at some point during the team's first-round series against the Hurricanes.

  • Hurricanes' Logan Stankoven: Back at practice Friday

    Stankoven (illness) participated in Friday's practice session, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

    Stankoven sat out Thursday's practice session due to an illness, but his return to the ice a day later signals that he'll presumably be ready for Game 1 against the Senators on Saturday. He appeared in 81 regular-season games this year and logged 21 goals, 23 assists, 50 hits, 25 PIM and 22 blocked shots while averaging 15:27 of ice time.
