Carolina Head Coach Rod Brind’Amour told Walt Ruff, Hurricanes team reporter, it “doesn’t look great” for Seth Jarvis, who left tonight’s game in the third period. Jarvis caught a hard shot in the ankle area, needing help off the ice. The injury occurred late in Carolina’s convincing win over the Islanders, unfortunately, at a point when the game was already seemingly out of reach. The Hurricanes are already missing several players, most notably Jaccob Slavin, K’Andre Miller, and Shayne Gostisbehere.
Although further updates should come tomorrow, Brind’Amour’s comments are quite concerning, if the 23-year-old is set to miss an extended time. Jarvis has been elite so far this season, over a point-per-game, with an eye-popping seven goals in ten games.
Elsewhere across the league:
- Bruins forward Elias Lindholm left tonight’s game due to a lower-body injury, and the team has not provided updates, but Head Coach Marco Sturm told Ty Anderson of 98.5 The Sports Hub, “it’s not typically a good sign”, that the forward had to be helped off the ice. Lindholm went down hard after running into Sabres forward Jordan Greenway at center ice. Lindholm’s absence will hopefully be limited, as he has looked much better so far in year two of his Bruins tenure, with nine points in 12 games.
- The Winnipeg Jets announced during tonight’s game that forward Gustav Nyquist would not return. There are no further details at this time, but the veteran was seen limping down the tunnel midway through the first period. Nyquist, 36, has yet to notch a goal with the Jets in 10 games, but he brings steady playmaking to the team’s middle six. Winnipeg went on to defeat Chicago in his absence.
