3 weeks agoCarolina Hurricanes defenseman Dmitry Orlov (upper body) will not play in Sunday's contest against the Winnipeg Jets. He is dealing with an upper-body injury and will miss a second consecutive game. Scott Morrow will play instead of Orlov. Carolina recalled Morrow from the minors on Saturday. The 23-year-old has had an impressive campaign with the Chicago Wolves in the AHL, recording 39 points (13 goals, 26 assists) in 51 outings. However, Morrow has gone pointless in his first four NHL appearances. Orlov's next chance to return will be on Tuesday against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

5 months agoCarolina Hurricanes defenseman Dmitry Orlov took care of two goals in Sunday's 4-2 win over Washington. Entering Sunday, Orlov boasted only one goal for the season, but he put in a big performance against his former team. The Russian rearguard started the scoring with 14 minutes played in the opening frame and registered the eventual game-winning goal 5:26 into the second. Orlov is typically good for some defensive stats as well, but he didn't have any on Sunday across 20:18 of action. He appears to be more focused on his work on the offensive end lately, having collected four of his six points in the past four games. With 10 games played, Orlov has recorded three goals, three assists, 18 shots, five blocks, and 16 hits.

1 year agoCarolina Hurricanes defenseman Dmitry Orlov tied a career-high with four points in Sunday's 7-2 win over Ottawa. He recorded two goals and two assists, starting the work with the first tally of the game. Orlov added a power-play assist to his tally early in the second period and then wrapped up the second four-point effort of his career with a goal and an assist in the third. The Russian rearguard definitely isn't known for his consistency on the attacking end, but he's made strides offensively lately to put together a three-game point streak. Orlov has collected six points during the streak, matching the output of his previous 37 appearances. The former Capital sits on 24 points (five goals, 19 assists) for the season and has recorded 106 shots and 102 hits across 68 games.

2 years agoBoston Bruins defensemen Dmitry Orlov (back) and Charlie McAvoy (undisclosed) won't play Sunday against the Flyers. Hampus Lindholm and Brandon Carlo will form the first defensive pairing in the game, with Matt Grzelcyk and Connor Carrick part of the second pairing. Both players are likely just getting rested, with the playoffs scheduled to start on April 17 and the Bruins having already secured home-ice advantage for the postseason. McAvoy also already had an injury scare earlier in the week, so there's no need to risk players' health in a meaningless game. Forwards Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci and Taylor Hall are also out Sunday.
