Juha Jaaska - NHL News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Sent to AHL Jaaska was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Saturday, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.

Impact This move came after Jaaska registered an assist in Carolina's 7-3 victory over Utah on Saturday. The Hurricanes are off until Feb. 22 due to the 4 Nations Face-Off, so that's probably why Jaaska is heading to the minors. The 26-year-old has four assists in 17 outings with the Hurricanes, including his helper against Utah.

Ready to return Jaaska (illness) is good to play Thursday versus Minnesota, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Jaaska missed Tuesday's 3-0 loss to Winnipeg because of the illness. He has three assists in 15 outings in 2024-25. Scott Morrow is projected to be a healthy scratch due to Jaaska's return.

Not playing Tuesday Jaaska (illness) won't play against Winnipeg on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Jaaska returned to the ice in Tuesday's morning skate after skipping Monday's practice, but he may not be well enough to play. Carolina will dress seven defensemen and 11 forwards, with Scott Morrow replacing Jaaska in the lineup.

Good to go Jaaska (illness) will play against Winnipeg on Tuesday, according to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Jaaska won't miss any playing time after skipping Monday's practice. He has contributed three assists, 17 hits and 11 shots on goal through 15 NHL appearances this season.

Misses practice Monday Jaaska wasn't on the ice for practice Monday due to an illness, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Jaaska has yet to score a goal in 15 appearances for the Canes this season, though he has registered three assists, 17 hits and 11 shots over that stretch. At this point, even if Jaaska is healthy enough to face Winnipeg on Tuesday, he figures to be stuck in a bottom-six role, making him a fringe fantasy option.

Two helpers in Thursday's win Jaaska collected two assists, one shorthanded, in Thursday's 3-2 win over Chicago.

Impact The 26-year-old rookie set up Seth Jarvis for a shortie to open the scoring late in the first period before having a hand in Jaccob Slavin's game-winner early in the second. Jaaska has just one other point, an assist, in his first 14 NHL games, and he'll likely head back to AHL Chicago once the Hurricanes' forward ranks get healthier.

Earns first NHL point Jaaska notched an assist in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact The helper was Jaaska's first point in four NHL appearances. The 26-year-old forward is filling a fourth-line role while Tyson Jost (lower body) and William Carrier (lower body) are sidelined. Jaaska has shown a scoring touch with 16 points over 26 AHL appearances, but his ice time is likely to be too limited with the Hurricanes to make him much of a factor in fantasy.

Recalled Sunday Jaaska was recalled from AHL Chicago on Sunday.

Impact Jaaska will rejoin the Hurricanes after he was sent down following his NHL debut on Thursday. The 26-year-old Jaaska has seven goals and 16 points in 26 AHL games this year.

Headed back to minors Jaaska was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Friday.

Impact Jaaska made his NHL debut versus the Panthers on Thursday, registering three hits in 8:21 of ice time. It seemed like the 26-year-old winger might stick around for a little in light of Tyson Jost's undisclosed injury but it seems the return of Jack Drury (hand) will relegate Jaaska back to the minors.
