Seth Jarvis Will Miss Start of Season After Shoulder Surgery

GM Eric Tulsky said a four- to six-month recovery will likely create a temporary roster opening that could give prospect Bradly Nadeau a chance or push the team to add a forward.

Seth Jarvis #24 of the Carolina Hurricanes stretches before Game Six of the 2026 NHL Stanley Cup Final between the Carolina Hurricanes and the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena on June 14, 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Overview

  • Tulsky confirmed late Friday that Jarvis underwent shoulder surgery and is expected to be sidelined for roughly four to six months, which will likely keep him out of the start of the 2026–27 season.
  • Jarvis played through a torn labrum and rotator cuff since the 2023–24 season and delayed corrective surgery to stay available for the Olympics and deep playoff runs before electing to have the procedure now.
  • The team also announced that depth winger Eric Robinson had knee surgery and faces a six- to eight-week recovery that should allow him to be ready for training camp in September.
  • Tulsky said the timing creates a short-term vacancy that could let top prospect Bradly Nadeau earn an early-season call-up while management weighs free-agent signings or trades to cover Jarvis’s scoring minutes.
  • Jarvis led Carolina with 32 goals and 66 points in 2025–26, so his absence will raise expectations for the club’s other scorers and shape lineup and salary-cap decisions until he returns between November and the new year.
