Hurricanes' Scott Morrow: Slated to play Friday
Morrow (undisclosed) is expected to play in Friday's preseason game against the Lightning, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Morrow has been dealing with an undisclosed injury over the last week, but he recently practiced in a regular jersey and will likely be able to suit up in the first half of a back-to-back Friday. The 21-year-old logged six goals and 30 points over 37 appearances with UMass-Amherst last year but could struggle to earn much playing time in the NHL this season.

Hurricanes' Joakim Ryan: Sidelined with undisclosed injury
Ryan is away from the team due to an undisclosed injury, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports Thursday.
Ryan joined Carolina on a one-year, two-way deal in mid-July, but he's dealing with an injury ahead of the team's final two preseason games. Whether he'll be available for those matchups remains to be seen, but once he's healthy, it wouldn't be surprising to see the 31-year-old head to the minors.

Hurricanes' Yaniv Perets: Receiving start Wednesday
Perets will start at home versus the Predators in Wednesday's preseason game, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Perets will get the nod after Spencer Martin was placed on waivers Wednesday. Ultimately, both Martin and Perets are likely to begin 2024-25 with AHL Chicago. Perets played with ECHL Norfolk last year, going 18-11-3 with a 2.99 GAA and an .889 save percentage in 34 regular-season appearances and also made one NHL appearance when injuries impacted the Hurricanes' goaltending group.

Hurricanes' Spencer Martin: Lands on waivers
Martin was placed on waivers by the Hurricanes on Wednesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Martin has already been named to the Canes' preseason roster to face Nashville on Wednesday, so he figures to serve at least as the backup in that contest. With 57 games of NHL experience, in which he posted a 21-26-7 record to go with a 3.52 GAA, the 29-year-old netminder could draw some interest on the waiver wire. If he goes unclaimed, Martin will likely be sent down at some point before Opening Night against the Lighting on Oct. 11, though it may not happen immediately.

Hurricanes' Scott Morrow: Makes strides towards return
Morrow didn't skate with the game group ahead of Wednesday's preseason contest against Florida, but he did practice with those who aren't expected to play while wearing a regular jersey, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
That would suggest Morrow is clear for contact, which is a good sign that he might be able to play in the near future. The 21-year-old defenseman had six goals and 30 points in 37 appearances with UMass-Amherst in 2023-24. He also appeared in two regular-season games with Carolina, recording six shots, one hit and two blocks.

Hurricanes' Spencer Martin: Slated to start Saturday
Martin is expected to start on the road against Florida in Saturday's preseason game, per David Dwork of The Hockey News.
Martin had a 7-9-2 record, 3.30 GAA and .889 save percentage in 19 regular-season games between Columbus and Carolina in 2023-24. He might start the upcoming campaign on the Hurricanes' roster but is in the awkward position of potentially being the No. 3 netminder behind Pyotr Kochetkov and Frederik Andersen.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Playing after all
Carrier (lower body) suited up for Friday's preseason game versus the Panthers, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Carrier was able to shake off the injury in time to make his preseason debut. The 29-year-old winger figures to play in a bottom-six role for the Hurricanes throughout 2024-25.

Hurricanes' Frederik Andersen: Starting Friday
Andersen is expected to start at home in Friday's preseason game against Florida, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Andersen had a 13-2-0 record, 1.84 GAA and .932 save percentage in 16 regular-season contests with the Hurricanes in 2023-24. As those numbers indicate, he can be a fantastic goaltender when healthy. However, the 34-year-old veteran has a substantial injury history, which makes him a risky netminder for fantasy managers to draft.

Hurricanes' Justin Poirier: Remains sidelined
Poirier (undisclosed) will not be an option for Carolina in Friday's preseason contest against Florida, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Poirier's chances of getting into the lineup at some point during the preseason seem to be decreasing by the day -- the youngster currently does not have a timeline for his return. The 2024 fifth-round pick is only 18 years old, so he has plenty of time to develop his game once he's ready to return. Poirier was well over a point-per-game player with Baie-Comeau of the QMJHL in 2023-24, banking 82 points in 68 regular-season contests.

Hurricanes' Scott Morrow: Nearing return
Morrow (undisclosed) will not be an option against Florida in Friday's preseason contest, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Although Morrow won't play in Friday's contest, coach Rod Brind'Amour said that the 21-year-old "will be back any day now," Ruff reports. Morrow will be hard-pressed to earn time at the NHL level this season -- Carolina has a veteran-laden defense core. The 2021 second-round pick was highly productive during his time at UMass-Amherst -- he registered 94 points in 109 regular-season contests from the back end over the course of three seasons.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Not playing Friday
Carrier (lower body) will not be available for Friday's exhibition tilt versus Florida, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Carrier is expected to be an important part of Carolina's bottom-six forward group after signing a six-year deal with the team in July. The 29-year-old remains without a timeline in regards to the injury, so his availability for the regular season is in question at this point. Carried banked eight points in 39 regular-season contests with the Golden Knights in 2023-24.

Hurricanes' Riley Stillman: Not skating Friday
Stillman is dealing with a lower-body injury, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Stillman will not play in Friday's preseason contest versus Florida due to the injury. The 26-year-old will likely start the season with AHL Chicago -- Carolina's blue line is littered with experienced veterans. Stillman's last appearance in the NHL came with Buffalo during the 2022-23 season, when he notched three points in 18 regular-season contests.

Hurricanes' Scott Morrow: Back on shelf
Morrow will again miss practice Thursday due to an undisclosed injury, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Morrow had been back on the ice Monday in a regular jersey but has now missed the last two practice days due to a seeming recurrence of his undisclosed injury. The 21-year-old blueliner was going to need to impress during training camp to break into the Opening Night roster. As a result of his missed time, Morrow is almost certainly destined to start the year with AHL Chicago. At this point, Morrow seems unlikely to play in either Friday or Saturday's matchups with Florida.

Hurricanes' Pyotr Kochetkov: Facing Lightning
Kochetkov will defend the road net Tuesday in preseason action versus Tampa Bay, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Kochetkov compiled a 23-13-4 record with four shutouts, a 2.33 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 42 regular-season contests in 2023-24. Even if Frederik Andersen stays healthy this campaign, Kochetkov could push for plenty of starts. The talented duo may share time in the crease in 2024-25.

Hurricanes' Justin Poirier: Not playing Tuesday
Poirier (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup to face Tampa Bay on Tuesday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Poirier was almost certainly going to be heading back to QMJHL Baie-Comeau for the upcoming season, so his undisclosed injury should have little impact on his long-term development. Still, Tuesday's contest would have been a good opportunity for team brass to get an up-close look at the 2024 fifth-round pick. If he can't get into a preseason tilt, Poirier will likely start the year on season-opening injured reserve before being sent back to juniors once given the all-clear.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Sitting out Tuesday
Carrier (lower body) will not be an option against the Lightning on Tuesday, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.
Carrier probably wouldn't have played in this game even if healthy when you consider Andrei Svechnikov, Sebastian Aho and Seth Jarvis -- the Canes' first line -- are all also skipping this one. Still, the longer Carrier is out due to his lower-body issue, the more concerning it becomes regarding his availability for Opening Night against the Lightning on Oct. 11.

Hurricanes' Scott Morrow: Back at practice
Morrow (undisclosed), as expected, returned to practice in a regular sweater Monday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.
Morrow played in his first two NHL games last year, registering six shots, one hit and a minus-3 rating in 18:23 of ice time per game. Still, despite the limited experience, the 21-year-old blueliner should be in the mix for an Opening Night roster spot coming out of training camp -- though if he isn't going to see a lot of minutes, he might be better suited for the minors.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Suffers lower-body injury
Carrier is day-to-day with a lower-body injury suffered Thursday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.
Carrier was in a lot of pain at the end of practice Thursday. The former Golden Knight signed a six-year contract with the Hurricanes in the offseason and is expected to be a bottom-six forward this season. He had six goals, two assists and 89 hits in 39 games during the regular season with Vegas in 2023-24.

Hurricanes' William Carrier: Injured at practice Thursday
Carrier (undisclosed) was not at practice Friday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
Carrier was in plenty of pain at the end of Thursday's practice and was not among the regulars at Friday's skate. The 29-year-old inked a six-year deal with the Hurricanes in the offseason after spending seven seasons with the Golden Knights. Carrier had six goals and eight points in 39 regular-season appearances with Vegas in 2023-24.

Hurricanes' Scott Morrow: Sitting out Friday
Morrow was not on the ice for Friday's training camp session, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.
Morrow made his NHL debut last year, registering six shots, one hit and a minus-3 rating in two outings. Barring a long-term injury, the youngster should be in the mix for an Opening Night roster spot, though all three pairings seem fairly set heading into the start of preseason action. Don't be surprised to see Morrow starting the year with AHL Chicago but being atop the shortlist of potential call-ups.
