Hurricanes' Jalen Chatfield: Set to miss time
Rotowire
Chatfield (upper body) is expected to be sidelined in the short term after coach Rod Brind'Amour told reporters Thursday, "he's getting checked out today. I think he'll be out for a little while, but not too too long," Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
Chatfield is pointless in his last seven contests and has just 12 points in 623 games on the year. Considering the defenseman is averaging just 14:03 of ice time, he doesn't get a lot of opportunities to put his name on the scoresheet. Without Chatfield in the lineup, Dylan Coghlan is set to play for the first time since Feb. 1 versus Buffalo.
Chatfield (upper body) won't finish Tuesday's game versus the Canadiens.
Chatfield was ruled out after the second intermission. If he can't play Thursday versus the Flyers, Calvin de Haan or Dylan Coghlan could join the lineup.
Chatfield registered two assists in a 5-1 victory over Buffalo on Wednesday.
Chatfield also recorded a plus-2 rating, four PIM and one shot Wednesday. Through 51 contests this season, he has five goals, 11 points, 54 shots and a plus-15 rating. While Chatfield hasn't done much offensively in 2022-23, he has provided three goals and eight points over his last 10 games.

Hurricanes' Jalen Chatfield: Helps out in comeback win
Rotowire
Chatfield delivered an assist in Friday's 5-4 overtime win over the Sharks.
Chatfield cleared the puck along the sideboards and it spurred a breakaway between venerable forwards Teuvo Teravainen and Sebastian Aho, with the latter converting a goal and narrowing the deficit to 4-3 in the third period. It's tough to rely on Chatfield for consistent offense; after all, he's a defenseman without a role on the power play, but he's shown flashes of his potential based on five goals, four assists and a plus-12 rating through 48 games.

Hurricanes' Jalen Chatfield: Two points against Wild
Rotowire
Chatfield scored an even-strength goal and added a short-handed assist in Thursday's 5-2 win over Minnesota.
It's the first career multi-point performance for the 26-year-old blueliner in his 79th career NHL game. Chatfield has never been a big offensive threat -- he managed six goals and 18 points in 44 games for AHL Chicago last season while adding three helpers in 16 games for the Hurricanes -- but he's in a groove right now, scoring three goals and four points in the last four games for Carolina. It seems unlikely that his hot streak will last too much longer.

Hurricanes' Jalen Chatfield: Sent down to minors
Rotowire
Chatfield was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Monday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.
With the Canes off until Thursday's matchup with Toronto, the move to demote Chatfield will provide some additional cap space, though it could also be an indication Brendan Smith (upper body) and/or Tony DeAngelo (abdomen) is nearing a return to action. If that's the case, Chatfield should be expected to spend the bulk of the rest of the year in the minors.
