The Carolina Hurricanes have recalled defenseman Joel Nystrom from the Chicago Wolves of the AHL. The callup comes in light of the injuries to forward Seth Jarvis and Jaccob Slavin [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/carolina-hurricanes/latest-news/hurricanes-top-defenseman-once-again-sidelined-with-injury], who are both listed as week-to-week with upper-body injuries, and in a subsequent move to create a roster spot for the Swede, Slavin was placed back on IR. Hurricanes dealt bad hand with new slate of injuries Nystrom, 23, has logged 23 games already with the Hurricanes this season after a slew of blueline injuries at the start of the year opened up an opportunity for the young defenseman. In that time, the Swede really made an impression, with five points and solid defensive play, that led to the organization signing him to a four-year, $4.9 million contract [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/carolina-hurricanes/latest-news/hurricanes-sign-seventh-round-rookie-blueliner-joel-nystrom-to-four-year-extension]. With Slavin sidelined once again for the foreseeable future, expect to see Nystrom once again getting a solid run with the team. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RECENT ARTICLES A True Leader Through and Through: What Teammates, Organization Have To Say About Carolina Hurricanes Captain Jordan Staal [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/carolina-hurricanes/players/a-true-leader-through-and-through-what-teammates-organization-have-to-say-about-carolina-hurricanes-captain-jordan-staal] 'There's Always A Light At The End Of The Tunnel': Logan Stankoven Battling Through Slump, Hoping To Turn Corner [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/carolina-hurricanes/players/there-s-always-a-light-at-the-end-of-the-tunnel-logan-stankoven-battling-through-slump-hoping-to-turn-corner] 10 Questions with Carolina Hurricanes Defenseman K'Andre Miller [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/carolina-hurricanes/players/10-questions-with-carolina-hurricanes-defenseman-k-andre-miller] New Look, Same Swagger: Nikolaj Ehlers Fitting In Perfectly With Carolina Hurricanes [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/carolina-hurricanes/players/new-look-same-swagger-nikolaj-ehlers-fitting-in-perfectly-with-carolina-hurricanes] A Perfect Storm: Hurricanes Rookie Defenseman Joel Nystrom Making Most Of Opportunity [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/carolina-hurricanes/players/a-perfect-storm-hurricanes-rookie-defenseman-joel-nystrom-making-most-of-opportunity] Hurricanes Rookie Goaltender Brandon Bussi Chasing NHL History On Unfathomable Start [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/carolina-hurricanes/players/hurricanes-rookie-goaltender-brandon-bussi-chasing-nhl-history-on-unfathomable-start] Image [https://deweb-519a7.b-cdn.net/post-images/2fc97c03-6cff-45e8-ae59-23b0632dfa24.jpeg] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stay updated with the most interesting Carolina Hurricanes stories, analysis, breaking news and more!
