EDGE Analysis

Orlov had put together a string of six games with an assist from Nov. 17-27, but he followed it up with seven straight scoreless outings. That cold spell ended with his helper on a Jordan Martinook tally in the second period. Orlov has settled into a second-pairing role this season, contributing three goals, 12 assists, 48 shots on net, 42 hits, 18 blocked shots and a plus-20 rating over 30 appearances. He's not a full defensive specialist, but his priorities will always be centered on taking care of his own zone.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov is enjoying a bit of a bounce-back season with 12 points, a plus-19 rating, 33 shots on net, 23 hits and 16 blocked shots through 20 appearances. That's nearly halfway to the 26-point effort he put forth over all 82 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Orlov has the second most points among Carolina's blueliners, an impressive feat considering the left-shot defenseman rarely receives power-play work.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov put the finishing touch on the Hurricanes' third straight win. The 33-year-old defenseman has filled a bottom-four role with three points, nine shots on net, 14 hits, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating through seven appearances. He offers decent production across the board, excluding the power play, so Orlov could be a fantasy option in deep formats.

Orlov logged an assist and went plus-2 in Tuesday's 4-2 win over the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov has been listed on the third pairing to begin the season, but his ice time is more in line with a top-four defenseman. The 33-year-old offers shutdown potential, but it comes with little in the way of offense. Orlov was limited to 26 points in 82 regular-season outings in 2023-24, and he added 116 hits, 60 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating last season.

Orlov supplied a secondary assist in Thursday's 5-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 6.

EDGE Analysis

The Russian defenseman also had one shot on goal and six blocks with a minus-1 rating in 19:01 of ice time. Unfortunately for the 32-year-old, he had an egregious turnover in which he failed to clear the defensive zone -- it led directly to a New York goal shortly after Carolina garnered a 2-0 lead early in the second period. Orlov finished the postseason with two goals and four assists in 11 contests.

Orlov registered an assist in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Rangers in Game 3 on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov extended his point streak to three games, giving him a goal and two assists in that span. He's up to four points (two markers) in eight playoff outings this year after finishing the regular season with six goals and 26 points across 82 appearances. Orlov is serving primarily on the third pairing and is seldom used on the power play, but he's getting plenty of work despite that unglamorous assignment -- Orlov has averaged 21:18 of ice time during the postseason.

Orlov recorded an assist and two hits in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Rangers in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov helped out on a Martin Necas tally in the third period. The helper was Orlov's second point in six playoff outings, and he's added 14 shots on net, 11 hits and six blocked shots from a third-pairing role. The 32-year-old is not in the mix for power-play time, so it's unlikely he puts up much offense during the postseason.

Orlov scored a goal on his only shot in Thursday's 3-2 Game 3 win over the Islanders.

EDGE Analysis

Orlov extended Carolina's lead to 2-0 midway through the opening period, beating Ilya Sorokin with a wrister from the slot.
