Carolina Hurricanes News

Robinson has been sidelined by a knee strain since January 31st but will play Thursday against the Islanders. Robinson, who has 17 points (6G / 11A) in 42 games, will be back in his customary spot on the fourth line next to Sean Kuraly.

Carrier was not on the ice for the Golden Knights' morning skate and is a game-time decision in Philadelphia. Evgenii Dadonov is expected to move up to the third line if Carrier can't play.

Andersen is dealing with a minor injury, so Antti Raanta will start vs. the Kraken and Alex Lyon will serve as the backup. Head coach Rod Brind'Amour said that Andersen's injury is "nothing too serious."

Ehlers has been sidelined by a knee injury since January 18th but is set to play Friday vs. the Stars. Ehlers, who has scored 13 goals with 12 assists (25 points) in 34 games this season, will return to the lineup on a line with Adam Lowry and Andrew Copp to start.

Ehlers has been sidelined with a knee injury since January 18th but was cleared for contact on Thursday, a big step towards him returning to the lineup. It seems possible that Ehlers could be back Friday vs. the Stars or Sunday vs. the Rangers. He skated on the third line with Adam Lowry and Andrew Copp in Thursday's session. Expect the Jets to provide an update after practice.

Carrier left Tuesday's morning skate early and will be a game-time decision vs. the Sharks. Jake Leschyshyn has been recalled as a reserve in case Carrier is unavailable.

Dzingel was claimed off of waivers from the Maple Leafs on Monday and will immediately make his Sharks debut. Dzingel will replace Jonathan Dahlen in the lineup and will skate with Logan Couture and Rudolfs Balcers.

Dzingel was acquired from the Coyotes on Saturday and waived on Sunday. Dzingel, who is on a one-year deal that pays him $1.1 million, has scored four goals with three assists (seven points) in 26 games this season. Dzingel will likely find a spot in the Sharks' bottom-6.
