Carolina Hurricanes

Seth Jarvis posted two assists in the Hurricanes' 4-1 win over the Canadiens Friday night.

Fantasy Impact: Jarvis continues a torrid stretch in the offensive zone, recording points in nine of his last 10 games (four goals, six assists) for the Hurricanes. The center continues to offer fantasy managers one of many options in the offensive zone as part of a deep Carolina lineup, posting 56 points (27 goals, 29 assists) in 65 games so far this season.

Sebastian Aho was able to light the lamp for the Hurricanes Friday night, scoring one goal in a 4-1 win over the Canadiens.

Fantasy Impact: Aho continues a steady stretch in the offensive zone, notching points in nine of his last 14 games (seven goals, three assists) for the Hurricanes. The center continues to offer fantasy managers a stable offensive option while leading a productive Carolina lineup, tallying 66 points (27 goals, 39 assists) in 71 games so far this season.

Jack Roslovic was able to light the lamp for the Hurricanes Tuesday night, scoring one goal in a 4-1 win over the Lightning.

Fantasy Impact: Roslovic has not been a consistent factor in the offensive zone of late, picking up points in three of his last seven games (one goal, two assists) for the Hurricanes. The center remains one of many solid two-way forward options as part of a deep Carolina lineup, recording 31 points (20 goals, 11 assists) in 64 games so far this season.

Mikko Rantanen tallied two points for the Stars Saturday night, scoring one goal and adding one assist in a 5-4 loss to the Oilers.

Fantasy Impact: Rantanen continues an inconsistent stretch in the offensive zone, posting points in four of his last eight games (two goals, four assists). The talented winger will look to translate his debut performance into a return to form for fantasy managers now as part of an explosive Dallas lineup, carrying a 1.14 point per game average (28 goals, 44 assists) in 63 games so far this season.

Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 18 of 21 shots in Saturday’s 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs. Two of Toronto’s goals came on empty nets, and one was an own goal.

Fantasy Impact: It was a rough start for Kochetkov, as he found himself down 4-0 before the first period ended. While the Hurricanes rallied late, it wasn’t enough to overcome the early deficit. Despite the loss, Kochetkov has been relatively steady, going 5-2-2 over his last nine appearances while allowing 24 goals in that span. His role remains fluid in Carolina’s crease, making him more of a streaming option in favorable matchups rather than a locked-in fantasy starter.

Brent Burns recorded an assist in Saturday’s 6-3 loss to the Maple Leafs, marking his 900th consecutive game played.

Fantasy Impact: Burns continues to be a durable presence on the blue line, hitting an impressive milestone with his ironman streak dating back to 2013. While his offensive production has dipped this season, he remains a steady contributor, particularly in leagues that count shots and blocked shots. With 20 points through 58 games, Burns’ best days are behind him, but he still holds value in deeper leagues as a veteran defenseman with top-four minutes.

Jaccob Slavin scored a goal on four shots in Saturday’s 6-3 loss to Toronto.

Fantasy Impact: Slavin continues to provide steady two-way play, but fantasy managers should temper expectations for his offensive output. While he’s tallied four goals and 11 points over his last 20 outings, his primary value remains in blocked shots (98 on the season) and plus-minus (+11). With 21 points through 57 games, Slavin is on pace for his usual 30-point season, making him a solid depth option in deep formats, particularly for those looking to bolster defensive categories.

Martinook found the back of the net and finished at plus-1 while firing two shots on goal over 16:13 of ice time. He also logged over four minutes on the penalty kill, demonstrating his two-way importance.

Fantasy Impact: Martinook’s offense can be streaky, but he chips in across multiple categories, especially hits and penalty-kill minutes in leagues that count shorthanded stats. He’s a suitable depth add or streamer in deeper leagues when he’s on a scoring uptick.

Andersen allowed two goals on 24 shots for a .917 save percentage in Carolina’s 2-1 setback. Playing 56:53, he made 19 saves at even strength alongside a pair of stops on the penalty kill, keeping the Hurricanes within striking distance until the final horn.

Fantasy Impact: Andersen’s performance was solid, but the minimal goal support led to the loss. He remains a reliable option in net when healthy, typically offering stable rate stats. While Carolina’s defensive structure generally supports strong goaltending numbers, Andersen’s fantasy managers would benefit from more frequent offensive contributions by the team.

Kotkaniemi scored a goal in Saturday’s 4-2 loss to Los Angeles. He opened the scoring in the first period before the Kings quickly responded.

Fantasy Impact: Kotkaniemi has been heating up, bouncing back from a brief scoreless outing to extend his solid stretch with six points in his last seven games. He now sits at 11 goals and 26 points through 53 contests, just one point away from surpassing last season’s total in far fewer games. While his offensive output remains inconsistent, he’s showing enough progress to warrant streaming consideration in deeper formats.

Robinson scored a goal on three shots and delivered two hits in Saturday’s 4-2 loss to Los Angeles. He buried a third-period tally while logging 14:14 of ice time in a fourth-line role.

Fantasy Impact: Robinson continues to see his role shift amid Carolina’s lineup adjustments following the Mikko Rantanen trade. He has five points over his last 12 games, bringing his season total to 12 goals and 25 points in 53 contests. While his versatility makes him useful in deeper leagues, his inconsistent deployment and limited power-play time keep him from being a priority fantasy option in standard formats.

Gostisbehere picked up an assist, three shots on goal, and two blocked shots in Saturday’s 4-2 loss to Los Angeles. His helper came at even strength, marking just his second assist in nine games since returning from an upper-body injury.

Fantasy Impact: Gostisbehere has struggled to regain his offensive rhythm after missing time, producing only two assists since Jan. 12. Despite this recent slowdown, he remains a key contributor on the power play, with 18 of his 29 points coming with the man advantage. His current slump lowers his immediate fantasy appeal, but he still holds value in formats that reward power-play production and shot volume.

Sean Walker recorded an assist, three shots on goal, and two blocked shots in Saturday’s 4-2 loss to the Kings.

Fantasy Impact: Walker continues to contribute in small ways, but his offensive production has been sporadic at best, with just two assists in his last six outings. His role remains limited to third-pairing minutes, and while he provides a steady presence on the blue line, his fantasy relevance is largely tied to his contributions in hits (51) and blocks (58). With minimal power-play usage and a lack of consistent scoring, Walker’s fantasy ceiling remains low outside of deeper leagues that prioritize defensive categories.

Jalen Chatfield recorded an assist, two blocked shots, and a plus-2 rating in the Hurricanes' 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders on Saturday, snapping a nine-game point drought.

Fantasy Impact: Chatfield set up Sebastian Aho's first-period goal, providing a rare offensive contribution from his top-four shutdown role. While his scoring has been sparse with 11 points in 50 games, Chatfield's defensive contributions are notable, highlighted by a plus-20 rating, 45 hits, and 43 blocked shots. His value is more pronounced in leagues that reward defensive stats, but his limited offensive production keeps his fantasy appeal modest.

Dmitry Orlov registered an assist, two blocked shots, and a plus-2 rating in the Hurricanes' 3-2 overtime loss to the Islanders on Saturday, extending his productive January.

Fantasy Impact: Orlov has quietly been a consistent contributor this month, tallying six assists and a plus-3 rating over 13 appearances. While his primary focus remains defensive, Orlov's offensive output has been solid, with 23 points, 79 shots, and a stellar plus-19 rating through 50 games. His well-rounded contributions, including 68 hits and 38 blocked shots, make him a valuable asset in deeper leagues, particularly for managers seeking balanced production.

Martin Necas recorded two assists and two hits in the Hurricanes' 2-1 victory over the Stars on Tuesday. Both of his helpers came on Jesperi Kotkaniemi’s goals, driving the offense in the low-scoring contest.

Fantasy Impact: Necas has picked up his play in January, contributing two goals and seven assists in nine games this month. The 26-year-old winger remains a key piece in Carolina’s top six, with 16 goals, 38 assists, 109 shots on net, and a plus-3 rating through 48 games this season. His blend of scoring and playmaking keeps him valuable in all fantasy formats, especially for managers seeking consistent offensive production.

Dustin Tokarski turned aside all 14 shots he faced, earning a shutout with a perfect 1.000 save percentage. He stopped 12 even-strength shots and two on the penalty kill.

Fantasy Impact: While Tokarski’s performance was stellar, the low shot volume limits his overall fantasy impact. He remains a streaming option in deeper leagues when facing favorable matchups.

Andrei Svechnikov sealed the win with a second-period goal, recording three shots on goal, a plus-one rating, and 19:06 of ice time, including 2:39 on the power play.

Fantasy Impact: Svechnikov remains an elite fantasy asset, delivering steady production across goals and shots. His role on the top power-play unit further boosts his upside, making him a must-start option.

Jordan Staal scored the opening goal and added an assist, finishing with one shot on goal and a plus-two rating over 17:55 of ice time. He also logged 3:01 on the penalty kill and 14:54 at even strength.

Fantasy Impact: Staal's multi-category contributions make him a strong option in leagues valuing faceoffs, hits, and defensive metrics. While not a high-volume scorer, his reliable minutes and situational deployment provide consistent value.

Spencer Martin was shelled in net for the Hurricanes Friday, allowing five goals on 29 shots faced in a 6-3 loss to the Panthers.

Fantasy Impact: Martin has struggled guarding the crease, allowing three or more goals in five of six starts (3-3-0) for the Hurricanes. Fantasy managers will be forced to look for alternatives due to injuries in the Carolina goalie room, with Martin carrying a 3.62 GAA and .850 save percentage so far this season.
