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.

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.

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.
