Orlov notched an assist, two shots on goal and three hits in Tuesday's 5-4 double-overtime win over the Devils in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov finished the first round with two helpers, a plus-1 rating, four PIM, six shots on net, 18 hits and eight blocked shots over five games. The 33-year-old has handled top-four minutes this postseason while working as a shutdown defenseman. He'll be a decent target for non-scoring production in fantasy throughout the playoffs.

Orlov logged an assist and went plus-2 in Saturday's 7-3 win over the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The lopsided nature of the game gave Orlov a chance to play extra minutes -- he led the team with 22:25 of ice time. The blueliner has just two goals and an assist over 11 contests since he returned from an upper-body injury that cost him five games. He should be in line for top-four minutes in the postseason. Orlov's at 27 points, 114 shots on net, 97 hits, 56 blocked shots and a plus-16 rating through 73 appearances.

Orlov scored a goal on three shots in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov's tally at 9:19 of the third period was the game-winner in a back-and-forth contest. The defenseman has scored twice on 14 shots over six games since he returned from an upper-body injury. For the season, he's up to six goals, 26 points, 107 shots on net, 95 hits, 51 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 68 appearances, matching his point total from the full 82-game regular season a year ago.

Orlov scored a goal on three shots and added two PIM in Saturday's 7-2 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

This was Orlov's second game back after he missed five contests due to an upper-body injury. The defenseman snapped a 27-game goal drought dating back to his Dec. 28 tally versus the Devils. He had also gone 11 contests without a point, 10 of which were before his injury. The 33-year-old blueliner is up to five goals, 20 helpers, 97 shots on net, 89 hits, 50 blocked shots, 20 PIM and a plus-15 rating through 64 appearances. Orlov continues to operate in more of a shutdown role, though his scoring pace has been a little better than the 26-point effort he had in 82 regular-season outings a year ago.

Orlov (upper body) will be in the lineup versus San Jose on Thursday, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov will return to action following a five-game stint on the shelf due to his upper-body issue. The veteran blueliner is currently mired in a 10-game pointless streak during which he has registered 20 hits, 13 shots and 11 blocks. Even with the slump, Orlov should be capable of reaching the 25-point threshold for the second straight season.

Orlov (upper body) won't play Saturday against Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

The Hurricanes hope Orlov will be an option to return against San Jose on Thursday. The 33-year-old defenseman has four goals, 24 points, 88 hits and 49 blocks in 62 appearances in 2024-25. Scott Morrow is expected to remain in the lineup Saturday due to Orlov's continued absence.

Orlov (upper body) will miss Friday's tilt against Detroit, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov will miss his fourth straight game. He's regarded as day-to-day, so perhaps he can still return Saturday in Philadelphia. The 33-year-old has four goals, 24 points, 88 hits and 49 blocks in 62 appearances in 2024-25.

Orlov (upper body won't be in the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against Tampa Bay, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov will miss his third straight game despite participating in Monday's practice. He has collected four goals, 24 points, 93 shots on net, 49 blocked shots and 88 hits in 62 appearances this campaign. Due to Orlov's absence, Scott Morrow will remain in the lineup.

Orlov (upper body) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov was unavailable for Thursday's game against the Bruins due to a minor upper-body injury, and head coach Rod Brind'Amour said Sunday that the defenseman isn't yet back to 100 percent. Scott Morrow will enter the lineup against Winnipeg, while Orlov's next chance to return will be Tuesday against the Lightning.

Orlov (undisclosed) won't play Thursday versus the Bruins due to a minor injury.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov will miss a game, but it doesn't sound like the team is overly worried about his status. Riley Stillman will fill in as a third-pairing defenseman after being waived earlier in the day. The Hurricanes' next game is Sunday versus the Jets.
