Hurricanes Trail Panthers 2-0 Amid Injury Woes

The Carolina Hurricanes are facing a 2-0 deficit against the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Final, with injuries compounding their challenges. Defenseman Jalen Chatfield has missed multiple games due to an undisclosed injury and remains day-to-day, though he has participated in team skates. Rookie Scott Morrow has filled in for Chatfield but has struggled defensively in limited minutes. Forward Seth Jarvis is now questionable for Game 3 after being injured during Game 2, though he briefly returned to the ice. Coach Rod Brind’Amour stated that medical clearance is required before any injured player returns. The Hurricanes’ depleted roster is a significant concern as they attempt to avoid falling further behind in the series.
