He was sent down due to the Hurricanes\u2019 depth at the forward position.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But three of their top veteran forwards are injured, he was called up earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Seth Jarvis is still recovering from off-season shoulder surgery. Captain Jordan Staal is facing a one- or two-month stint on the injured list with a partial calf tear and Taylor Hall suffered an upper-body injury in a game against the Washington Capitals on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nadeau had one goal in four games with the Wolves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He had 27 goals and 29 assists in 52 regular season games with the Wolves last season and added seven goals and 10 assists in 21 playoff games. In addition, he spent 12 games with the Hurricanes and scored three goals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two seasons ago, he led all AHL rookies in goals with 32 and was second in points with 58. He became just the sixth teenager since 1940 and third in the last 50 years to score at least 30 goals in an AHL season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe No. 1 thing is every time you watch him, you know you\u2019ve got the NHL offensive upside and, every game, he\u2019s continuing to add other NHL aspects to his game,\u201d Hurricanes assistant general manager Darren Yorke told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhl.com\/news\/topic\/32-in-32\/carolina-hurricanes-top-prospects-for-2026-27-season-32-in-32\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NHL.com<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s only a matter of time before he\u2019s in the NHL full-time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 5-foot-11, 181-pound Nadeau was a first round draft pick of the Hurricanes in 2023. He was the 30th overall selection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During his one season at UMaine (2023-24), he registered 19 goals and 27 assists for 46 points in 37 games. He led the team in goals and points, and tied with older brother and linemate Josh Nadeau for the assists lead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to being chosen to the All-Hockey East second team, the Saint-Francois-de-Madawaska, New Brunswick, native was also picked to the league\u2019s All-Rookie team and selected to the New England Hockey Writers Association\u2019s all-star squad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hurricanes play in Winnipeg on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. and in Calgary on Sunday at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former University of Maine All-Hockey East winger Bradly Nadeau, whose 59 goals over the past two seasons with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":687617,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5107],"tags":[194,29,5176,5,195,4],"class_list":["post-687616","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-carolina-hurricanes","tag-carolina","tag-carolina-hurricanes","tag-carolinahurricanes","tag-hockey","tag-hurricanes","tag-nhl"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nhl\/117446411775714973","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=687616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/687616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/687617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=687616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=687616"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nhl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=687616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
