Sportsnet: Elliotte Friedman on Hurricanes Seth Jarvis: “Yeah. So one of the big storylines, obviously, with Seth Jarvis’s night. And the good news is that everyone here seems hopeful, but there won’t be a hard explanation until he sees the doctor. This is the last game of Carolina’s road trip. They’re in Tampa night. They’re going home, but it seems hopeful that this won’t be anything that will knock him out for the Olympics. The Hurricanes, by the way, are furious that a penalty wasn’t called imposed for that action.
Sportsnet: Friedman on the Chicago Blackhawks: “Meanwhile, Frank Nazar, he’s out for four weeks, Jeff Blashill said after the game and he got hit with the puck here, no chance to get out of the way there. Nazar, a great young player, broke a recent scoring slump, and that was bad to see him out.”

NHL Rumors: Kadri, Tuch, Hamilton, Hughes, Sherwood, Andersson and O’Reilly
Sportsnet: Friedman on Edmonton Oilers goaltender Tristan Jarry: “The Oilers were in Minnesota today. They lost to the Wild, who are red hot. They’re going home. They’re playing in Vegas tomorrow night, and by then we should get more clarity on Tristan Jarry, who recently left the win. And you know, everyone here is obviously very concerned. They just got him, but we probably won’t know more until we know.”
