Seth Jarvis returns to boost Hurricanes’ offense after injury absence
Seth Jarvis is set to return for the Carolina Hurricanes after recovering from an upper-body injury. The 22-year-old forward has been sidelined for eight games but is now cleared to play. His return comes as a boost for the team relying on his scoring touch this season.
Jarvis was injured on 19 December during a game against the Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour confirmed the setback at the time, placing the player on injured reserve. Since then, the Hurricanes have missed his offensive contributions in the lineup.
Before the injury, Jarvis led the team in multiple categories. He topped the roster with 19 goals, four game-winning goals, and two shorthanded goals. His 29 points also placed him tied for fourth among Hurricanes players this season. Drafted 13th overall by Carolina in 2020, Jarvis has developed into a key forward. Over his career, he has appeared in 338 NHL games, recording 115 goals and 127 assists for a total of 242 points. His return now gives the Hurricanes a proven scorer back in their forward ranks.
The Hurricanes have activated Jarvis from injured reserve, making him available for selection. His scoring ability and experience will be vital as the team pushes through the season. The forward's return follows a strong individual campaign before his injury.
