Jalen Chatfield Unlikely to Play During Preseason
Carolina Hurricanes defenseman Jalen Chatfield (undisclosed) will likely sit out the preseason. He will join fellow defenseman Jaccob Slavin (soreness) on the sidelines. "I think we've made the decision that we're just going to overly hold them off ... it's just not worth it at this point," Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "I think if we were starting (the regular season) today, they'd be in the lineup. But we're not." Chatfield missed the end of the 2025 Stanley Cup Playoffs with a hip issue, but he was skating at the start of training camp. The 29-year-old finished last season with 18 points (seven goals, 11 assists), 114 shots, 64 blocks, 64 hits, and a team-best plus-22 rating in 79 games.
