Shayne Gostisbehere To Miss Time With An Upper-Body Injury
2 days agoCarolina Hurricanes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere (upper body) will be forced to spend some time on the sidelines. Gostisbehere exited the lineup at the weekend, missing his first game of the season. On Monday, Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour revealed that the offensive defenseman will be out for "more than day-to-day." Gostisbehere is tied for seventh in scoring among all defensemen, amassing 27 points (six goals, 21 assists) across 35 outings in 2024-25. He's second on the team with 18 power-play points (four goals, 14 assists). Ty Smith will fill Gostisbehere's spot on the third defensive pairing and the first power-play unit. In recent years, Smith has seen very little action in the NHL, but he's shown off good form in the minors. In 13 AHL appearances, Smith has recorded three goals and 10 points this season.
