Back with team Stillman (lower body) rejoined the Hurricanes on Wednesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Stillman has dealt with a lower-body injury since late September and began the season on the injured non-roster list. He was away from the team over the past few weeks but was still skating during that time, and he donned a regular jersey during Wednesday's practice session.

On injured non-roster Stillman (lower body) was placed on the injured non-roster list Monday.

Impact Stillman has been dealing with a lower-body injury since late September, and he'll be unavailable to begin the regular season. Once he's healthy, it wouldn't be surprising to see him report to AHL Chicago. Over 47 appearances with AHL Rochester last year, he recorded two goals and six points.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Not skating Friday Stillman is dealing with a lower-body injury, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact Stillman will not play in Friday's preseason contest versus Florida due to the injury. The 26-year-old will likely start the season with AHL Chicago -- Carolina's blue line is littered with experienced veterans. Stillman's last appearance in the NHL came with Buffalo during the 2022-23 season, where he notched three points in 18 regular-season contests.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Absent from injury report Stillman (lower body) was not listed among the injured players Tuesday ahead of training camp.

Impact After going unqualified by the Sabres in the offseason, Stillman nabbed a two-way deal from the Hurricanes. The 26-year-old blueliner's best hope would be to snag the seventh defenseman spot during training camp, but he will face stiff competition for that role from Scott Morrow and Joakim Ryan. Even if Stillman is on the Opening Night roster, he almost certainly figures to split his time between the NHL and AHL this season.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Secures two-way deal Stillman (lower body) agreed to terms on a one-year, two-way contract with Carolina on Wednesday.

Impact Stillman has already logged NHL games with four different franchises in his career but spent the entirety of the 2023-24 season in the minors with AHL Rochester. While the 26-year-old blueliner should be on the list of call-ups during the season, he is unlikely to crack the Opening Night roster for the Hurricanes, especially after the organization brought in Shayne Gostisbehere and Sean Walker in free agency.

JULY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Not qualified by Sabres Stillman (lower body) did not receive a qualifying offer from Buffalo and will become an unrestricted free agent Monday.

Impact Stillman did not make an NHL appearance during the 2023-24 campaign was held to six points in 47 AHL contests. He underwent season-ending lower-body surgery in April and his status for the start of the 2024-25 season is currently unknown.

JUNE 30 • ROTOWIRE

Out for season Stillman underwent lower-body surgery and will miss the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign.

Impact Stillman tallied six points in 47 games with AHL Rochester this season and did not see any NHL action. The team should have a further update on his status closer to the start of training camp.
