Carolina Hurricanes players Jalen Chatfield, Sean Walker, and Seth Jarvis recently announced they will not require surgery for injuries sustained during their playoff run. Chatfield missed the final six games of the postseason due to a hip injury, while Walker suffered a shoulder setback that limited his participation. Jarvis, the team's leading scorer in the regular season and playoffs, is focusing on shoulder rehab after dealing with persistent issues. Despite a five-game series loss to the Florida Panthers, Carolina continues to hold the record for winning at least one playoff series for seven consecutive seasons.

Chatfield reflected on the difficulty of playing through his hip injury, expressing frustration at not being able to contribute at full speed. He felt close to returning before the end of the season but ultimately couldn't make it back in time. Walker's injury was exacerbated by a significant hit during the playoffs, which he described as a setback. Jarvis, who had a strong postseason performance with ten assists and 16 points, is opting for a rehabilitation approach again this offseason, aiming to strengthen his shoulder and hopes to wear a protective brace from the start of the new season.
