The Carolina Hurricanes have confirmed that defensemen Jalen Chatfield and Sean Walker, along with forward Seth Jarvis, will not require surgery following injuries sustained during their playoff run this season. Chatfield dealt with a hip injury that sidelined him for the last six games, while Walker's shoulder issue worsened after a hit in the playoffs. Jarvis, the team’s leading scorer this postseason, plans to continue rehabilitation for a shoulder issue that he has managed for two seasons. Despite these challenges, the Hurricanes maintained a remarkable streak of winning a playoff series for seven consecutive years.

Chatfield expressed his frustration over missing key games, including the entire series against the Florida Panthers. He was optimistic about recovery with additional rehab time. Walker shared similar sentiments, hoping to return if the team had advanced further, but is now focusing on recovery. Jarvis, who led the team in assists and points during the playoffs, is also eyeing participation in the 2026 Olympics while managing his shoulder rehabilitation without surgery.
