Carolina Hurricanes general manager Eric Tulsky says top-line forward Seth Jarvis is expected to miss up to six months after undergoing shoulder surgery following the team’s Stanley Cup championship run. Tulsky characterizes the recovery as typically lasting 4–6 months, which could extend into the start of next season. He adds that Jarvis had dealt with a long-running shoulder issue and had used strengthening and rehabilitation work to continue playing before opting for the surgery.
Tulsky also reports that fourth-line forward Eric Robinson underwent knee surgery. Robinson’s recovery is expected to take about 6–8 weeks. The general manager says there are no other players currently scheduled for surgeries following the roughly two-month playoff run. Together, the updates outline the team’s short-term injury status and potential timeline for return of Jarvis and Robinson.
