Hurricanes activate Jordan Staal from injured reserve, place Mike Reilly on waivers ahead of Kraken game

The Carolina Hurricanes have activated captain Jordan Staal from injured reserve and placed defenceman Mike Reilly on waivers before Saturday’s game against the Seattle Kraken.

The Story

The Carolina Hurricanes’ NHL Global Series matchup with the Seattle Kraken is set to continue Saturday afternoon after Carolina took game one of the two-game set on Thursday.

Ahead of that contest, the Hurricanes announced two roster moves, including activating forward Jordan Staal from injured reserve.

In the corresponding move, the team placed defenceman Mike Reilly on waivers. If Reilly clears waivers, he will be assigned to AHL Chicago.

The transaction means Reilly is no longer on the Hurricanes’ active roster, after being listed as a healthy scratch for the previous 10 games.

In eight NHL appearances this season, Reilly has recorded two assists, nine shots on net, six blocked shots and 15 hits, according to the figures cited in the report.
