Status report
The Hurricanes held an optional morning skate. ... Jarvis will be a game-time decision after being activated from the Hurricanes’ injured non-roster list Wednesday; the forward has yet to play this season following offseason shoulder surgery. ... The Hurricanes sent forward Bradly Nadeau to the Chicago of the American Hockey League on Wednesday and recalled Brind'Amour, a forward. ... Nugent-Hopkins will make his season debut after sustaining a lower-body injury during training camp; he will play in place of Hallander, a forward, and bump Dach from the second line to the fourth.
