Jalen Chatfield (concussion protocol since Nov. 6) returned to #Canes practice today.

Rod Brind'Amour says it'll be the defenseman's call on when he might return.

"If he's not in tomorrow, I'm sure it'll be on this road trip at some point."

Taylor Hall.

Gross.
November 18, 2025 at 2:58 AM
W!

The #Canes earn a 3-1 win in Boston.

Pyotr Kochetkov was stellar, stopping 27 out of 28 before having his shutout bid spoiled in the dying seconds.

Joel Nystrom enjoys the first multi-point night of his career, factoring in on two goals, just like Taylor Hall.
November 18, 2025 at 2:57 AM
Wow!

The puck was on edge, and Hall made the most of it.
November 18, 2025 at 2:56 AM
Mark Jankowski was a goal-scoring machine after being acquired at the trade deadline last year.

He's had to play different roles and wait his turn this season, so it's great to see him finally get one tonight.
November 18, 2025 at 1:47 AM
Taylor Hall's initial shot actually hit Jankowski, but it dropped perfectly at his feet for him to whack home.

Great to see #77 on the board with his first of the year.
November 18, 2025 at 1:45 AM
What strength from Jordan Staal. 💪

Winning the net-front battle with one hand, poking home the game's first goal with the other.
November 18, 2025 at 1:44 AM
Another steady shift from the Captain's line results in gold.

Joel Nystrom let the initial shot fly, giving him his second NHL point.
November 18, 2025 at 1:43 AM
Done with 20 minutes in Boston. Still 0-0.

Carolina's penalty kill looked very good in their lone two-minute effort.

Pyotr Kochetkov's biggest save came late in the frame.
November 18, 2025 at 1:16 AM
Domenick Fensore is confirmed as the healthy extra. Whoever "wasn't feeling great" earlier today, will play for the #Canes.

The #Canes during warmups in Boston -

Fensore

Kochetkov
[Backup: Andersen]

Pyotr Kochetkov leads the #Canes to the ice for warmups at TD Garden.

It'll be his fourth start of the year, entering 3-0.
November 17, 2025 at 11:45 PM
Rod Brind'Amour confirms to /hannaRyates that recalling Domenick Fensore was to have an extra on the blue line to start a week on the road.

However, he also hinted that one player wasn't feeling great.

We'll see if that means anything more, and who starts in net, at 6:30.
November 17, 2025 at 10:27 PM
Nikolaj Ehlers enters tonight's contest in Boston with a seven-game point streak.

He is just the fourth #Canes player in the past 15 years to record a point streak of seven or more games in their first season with the team, joining Jake Guentzel, Brent Burns, and Seth Jarvis.
November 17, 2025 at 6:12 PM
The #Canes are 5-1-1 in their last seven and begin a four-game stint away from home tonight in Boston.

No morning skate for the team to start the day, so Rod Brind'Amour will speak to reporters around 4:45 p.m.
November 17, 2025 at 3:55 PM
Joel Nystrom swoops in to save the day!

A nice play by the 23-year-old to clear the puck out of an empty crease here during the third period of a tied game.
November 16, 2025 at 2:35 AM
Take it to the hoop, Will!

Life in the building is restored after Edmonton had just taken the lead minutes prior.
November 16, 2025 at 2:30 AM
Oh baby, Frederik Andersen.

He gets his stick on this Leon Draisaitl bid, just enough to steer it into the post behind him.
November 16, 2025 at 2:17 AM
The #Canes keep it simple and get a goal because of it.

K'Andre Miller gets it deep, and Logan Stankoven serves as a one-man forecheck, until his linemates get there to help.

Possession is acquired, and moments later, Nikolaj Ehlers' point streak moves to seven games.
November 16, 2025 at 1:25 AM
Skinner was occupied by Blake, ensuring that he didn't have room to tuck it on the short side, and no one picked up Ehlers out at the circle.

That's now a seven-game point streak for #27.
November 16, 2025 at 1:23 AM
An extended clip here, but it's worth watching for Eric Robinson, the goal-scorer, alone.

• How about that cross-ice feed for the first zone entry? Perfectly put by Mark Jankowski and right on the tape of the tagging up Taylor Hall.

• There certainly could've been a penalty called as he (1/2)
November 16, 2025 at 1:09 AM
What passing sequence, as it goes from Taylor Hall out high, to a one-touch from Shayne Gostisbehere that lands perfectly on the tape of Robinson.

The group needed that one.
November 16, 2025 at 12:51 AM
"I'm not gonna lie, that's two goals that we just gave to them..."

Back-to-back nights of the same story for the #Canes, this time told by Logan Stankoven during a mid-period interview.

Hopefully, they're able to eventually get to the same outcome as last night, though.
November 16, 2025 at 12:50 AM
It's possible that this still changes, but the roster report on the NHL's Media Site lists Jarvis as in and Nadeau as out.
November 15, 2025 at 11:53 PM
Seth Jarvis (UBI) is taking rushes for the #Canes before facing Edmonton. Bradly Nadeau is hanging as the extra. Mark Jankowski draws back in for the first time since 11/6...

Svechnikov - Aho - Jarvis
Ehlers - Stankoven - Blake
Carrier - Staal - Martinook
Hall - Jankowski - Robinson
(1/2)
