Seth Jarvis left the Hurricanes’ loss to the Panthers with an undisclosed injury after a hard crash in overtime.

The Carolina Hurricanes could be without one of their key players for a while. News emerged on Saturday that leading goal-scorer Seth Jarvis will be “out for a while.” This is due to an undisclosed injury that suffered on Friday night against the Florida Panthers.

For the Florida Panthers, it sure seems like it right now. Winners in six of their last seven games, the defending Stanley Cup champions will look to keep on rolling when they host the Carolina Hurricanes at Amerant Bank Arena on Friday at 7 p.m. ET. Sitting at 18-13-2, a win would put the Panthers back in a playoff spot.

Things did not look good for the Florida Panthers on Friday, not when Carolina’s Sebastian Aho scored his second of the night to give his team a three-goal lead. Not with Brandon Bussi looking like an All-Star in net.

The injury overshadowed a stunning 4-3 Panthers comeback win. Florida scored twice with an extra attacker late in regulation, then won in the shootout. The Hurricanes had built a 3-0 lead behind two third-period goals from Aho and another from Jordan Staal before the collapse.
