Jarvis has not played this season while recovering from the procedure on his right shoulder.
What The Team And Source Said
“It’s getting closer,” Brind’Amour said. “We’re trying to get him every (rep), like power-play time and stuff that he hasn’t really been doing, in hopes that we get told he’s good to go.”Amour said Jarvis was a full participant Wednesday. The team is working him into power-play reps and other situational work as final steps before clearing him for game action.
Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour addressed Jarvis’s progress, saying the team has been working him into situational reps as part of the final steps before a possible return.
“It’s getting closer,” Brind’Amour said. “We’re trying to get him every (rep), like power-play time and stuff that he hasn’t really been doing, in hopes that we get told he’s good to go.”
