The Carolina Hurricanes are coming off a 5-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Saturday.

Now, head coach Rod Brind’Armour has announced that Kochetkov has had surgery […]

The Winter Classic has become a staple on the National Hockey League calendar since the first outdoor game took place all the way back in 2008. And for the first time in history — a full 18 years after the Pittsburgh Penguins beat the Buffalo Sabres in Orchard Park, NY — the event will be heading […]

The Carolina Hurricanes have one more game to play before the Christmas break, but they are going to be considerably shorthanded thanks to the injuries to both Seth Jarvis and Jaccob Slavin. The Hurricanes announced that Jarvis and Slavin are both unavailable and are considered week-to-week after both suffered upper-body injuries. “Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis […]

For the first time since the 2025-26 National Hockey League campaign kicked off almost three months ago, it’s going to be a relatively quiet week. The NHL will shut down entirely for three days beginning on Wednesday, with no games on the slate for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, or Boxing Day. Along with zero contests, […]

Carolina Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis had a scary-looking play when he collided with the net off a rush in overtime in Friday night’s game against the Florida Panthers. His teammates and the officials immediately signaled to the training staff to check him out, which didn’t cast an excellent light on the injury for the Team […]

The Carolina Hurricanes kept their winning streak rolling with a 4-1 road win over the Nashville Predators on Wednesday. However, the victory came at the cost of forward and alternate captain Jordan Martinook, who exited the game in the second period with a lower-body injury and did not return. Carolina had to adjust after Martinook’s […]

Who had Quinn Hughes being traded to the State of Hockey on their bingo card in 2025-26? After six NHL teams made legitimate offers for the former Vancouver Canucks superstar, it was Bill Guerin who swooped in with an incredulous offer. The Minnesota Wild GM parted with the equivalent of four first-round picks, sending Zeev […]

The Carolina Hurricanes are on fire right now. The Hurricanes are the top team in the Metropolitan Division and have won four in a row. In the process, rookie goaltender Brandon Bussi has been great in goal. He is now 11-1-0 on the season, and just won his ninth game in a row. The Canes […]

The Carolina Hurricanes are currently playing against the Philadelphia Flyers. The Hurricanes are the top team in the Eastern Conference.

The 2025-26 NHL season has produced some incredible moments throughout the last three months. For instance, Washington Capitals star Alex Ovechkin scoring his 900th career goal was a moment no fan will soon forget. However, individual moments take a backseat to team success. And with the season nearing the halfway point, it’s time to take […]

It’s not very often a franchise-altering player gets traded in the middle of a National Hockey League season — that is, it wasn’t very often until Mikko Rantanen was shockingly sent from the Colorado Avalanche to the Carolina Hurricanes in January of 2025. That was a bit of an outlier, until he was moved again, […]

The last team that Carolina Hurricanes’ goaltender Frederik Andersen wants to have a poor start against is the Toronto Maple Leafs. The former Toronto backstopper had a tumultuous tenure with the team and became the scapegoat for a couple of poor postseason performances. As everyone now knows, the Maple Leafs’ postseason struggles were never all […]

It was a difficult start to the season for Andrei Svechnikov, which sparked serious trade rumors around his future with the Carolina Hurricanes. The lack of production to start the year, which included no points in his first eight games, led head coach Rod Brind’Amour to cut his ice time. It caused a stir in […]

The Hockey Canada sexual assault trial involving five members of the 2018 World Junior team officially concluded, ending with all defendants declared not guilty. After the verdict, the NHL and NHLPA conducted their own review before allowing them to resume their professional careers beginning in mid-October, with eligibility to play in games as of December […]

With the fourth Thursday of November — and American Thanksgiving — in the rearview mirror, we have officially entered the holiday season. And in the latest edition of ClutchPoints’ NHL Power Rankings, that looks a lot different for a lot of teams. For the continuously floundering, 8-13-4 Nashville Predators, it’s not going to feel much […]

The Carolina Hurricanes are fighting for a postseason spot, but all the focus is on Andrei Svechnikov. The young winger has seen his ice time dip at points early in the 2025-26 season. Moreover, he struggled early on, failing to score in his first eight games of the season. He has since rebounded, but there […]

The Carolina Hurricanes left the Winnipeg Jets in their wake with a 5-1 win at Lenovo Center on Friday, making it back-to-back victories over Winnipeg in just seven days. Forward Seth Jarvis was the maestro of the night, scoring a second career hat trick. Jarvis reached 20 points in just 24 games, the fastest in […]

It’s once again been a struggle for the Vancouver Canucks to find consistency, as they’re currently in seventh place in the Pacific Division with a subpar record of 9-12-2 through the first 23 games of the 2025-26 NHL campaign. Naturally, as a team struggles as the Canucks are, there are going to be trade rumors […]

The unfortunate reality of the NHL salary cap is that the Winnipeg Jets would have a difficult time fitting all their expiring contracts under the limit. Winnipeg had a window to win a championship with its entire core group. However, when Nikolaj Ehlers’ contract expired after last season, the Jets had to let him sign […]

The Carolina Hurricanes are one of the best teams in the NHL this year. The Canes are 13-5-2 this season, which is the best record in the Eastern Conference. While the squad is tops in the conference, there is still one overreaction trade for Carolina to make. Rod Brind’Amour’s group has lost three of their […]

The Carolina Hurricanes walked into TD Garden needing a strong response, and Pyotr Kochetkov delivered it with a calm, controlled game that set the tone in a 3-1 win over the Boston Bruins. He stayed balanced through early pressure. He handled rebounds with ease. And he played with the confident edge fans have been waiting […]

Exactly five months ago, on a warm June evening in Sunrise, the Florida Panthers captured their second consecutive NHL championship. It wasn’t quite as thrilling as the year before, when the Edmonton Oilers erased a 3-0 deficit before coming up just short in a one-goal Game 7 — but it was a terrific series nonetheless. […]

The Carolina Hurricanes took a 4-1 loss against the Washington Capitals in their most recent game, but they didn’t leave without a fight – literally. With five minutes to go in the first period, Capitals center Nic Dowd ran over Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen behind the net. Andersen hit the ground, and a flurry of […]

In October of 1997, the Vancouver Canucks and Anaheim Ducks kicked off the NHL Global Series with back-to-back games in front of 10,500 spectators at the Yoyogi Arena in Tokyo, Japan. Since that debut contest — which was won for the Canucks by Pavel Bure — there have been 45 other international regular-season contests, spanning […]

The Carolina Hurricanes’ ongoing search for a high-impact forward has led them to the Calgary Flames’ Nazem Kadri, but a significant obstacle stands in the way.

The Carolina Hurricanes are 8-4-0 to start a 2025-26 season full of expectations. Free-agent acquisition Nikolaj Ehlers finally scored his first goal in Tuesday’s game against the New York Rangers.

The 2025-26 National Hockey League season is off to a terrific start. But don’t take our word for it — let the evidence speak for itself. There were 109 goals scored during Frozen Frenzy last Tuesday, the third most in a single day in NHL history. If you ask any hockey fan what makes the […]

The Carolina Hurricanes beat the New York Islanders 6-2 on Thursday to end a two-game losing streak. New York was without one of their top forwards, as Mathew Barzal was scratched for being late to the morning skate. Carolina took advantage, taking an early 3-0 lead and never looking back. But Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis […]

The New York Islanders are off to a rollercoaster start to the 2025-26 NHL season. After losing the first three games, they won four straight to bounce above .500. They have now lost two in a row, with a divisional back-to-back coming up. The Islanders will be without Mathew Barzal for the first leg against […]

The National Hockey League is close to wrapping up its third official week of 2025-26, and — finally — every team has both won and lost a game. Last year at this time, the Winnipeg Jets remained undefeated, while the San Jose Sharks still hadn’t found a way to bank two points. It’s a little […]

The Carolina Hurricanes have recalled top-prospect forward Bradly Nadeau from the AHL’s Chicago Wolves ahead of their Saturday clash with the Dallas Stars at American Airlines Center. The move comes as Carolina deals with multiple injuries, including wingers Eric Robinson and William Carrier, both of whom are likely to miss extended time, and defenseman Shayne […]

The Carolina Hurricanes are off to an exceptional start to the 2025-26 season, with a 6-1-0 record. They beat the Colorado Avalanche in a shootout while wearing fantastic Hartford Whalers throwbacks.

If that wasn’t enough to make fans happy, they made a big announcement on Tuesday that will have fans lining up at the team store. The Avalanche are bringing […]

The Carolina Hurricanes signed Nikolaj Ehlers this summer to a six-year contract. Carolina brought him in to boost their goal scoring, especially at the top of the lineup.

It’s been exactly 13 days since the 2025-26 National Hockey League campaign kicked off at Amerant Bank Arena on October 7. And although it’s still extremely early, the chaos brewing in Week 3 of ClutchPoints’ NHL Power Rankings is palpable. Some teams are absolutely shattering their preseason expectations — like the resurgent Detroit Red Wings […]

The Carolina Hurricanes made some major moves in NHL Free Agency this summer. But on Tuesday night, it was their depth additions that led the way.

K’Andre Miller made an outstanding first impression on his new fanbase as he scored two goals in the Carolina Hurricanes’ season-opening win over the New Jersey Devils. The Hurricanes acquired Miller this offseason in a trade from the New York Rangers, and he immediately signed an eight-year, $60 million contract. The decision is already paying […]
