Harrison was a healthy scratch for Thursday's loss to the Flames, sitting in favor of John-Michael Liles who was returning to the lineup following a bout of upper-body soreness. This is not a surprising move, as Liles gives the struggling Canes a bit of an offensive boost from the back end. With Liles' return, the team now has a full contingent of eight healthy defensemen, making it difficult to predict when Harrison will be inserted back into the lineup. For fantasy purposes, go with another viable alternative if you have one.

Harrison (undisclosed) sat out Thursday's practice, Chip Alexander of the Raleigh News & Observer reports. Harrison was apparently "dinged up" during Wednesday's preseason win over the Islanders. It sounds like this is simply a case of bumps and brusies, which should not cause Harrison to miss any significant time.

Carolina allowed four goals in 10:54 minutes to start its game against the New York Islanders. "It's unexplainable, the effort we had," Jay Harrison said. "That's not our game, not our preparation. We clearly were not ready to go. The accountability in the room . this can't be tolerated. The effort and inspiration has to be better." Carolina battled back, but the damage was done in the Islanders' 5-4 victory. That drops the Hurricanes to 31-32-9 this season. They don't have a realistic shot of making the playoffs.

Jay Harrison was a healthy scratch on Saturday. Harrison has only two goals and seven points this season so the benching shouldn't affect too many poolies.

Jay Harrison was activated from the IL on Friday January 10.

The Carolina Hurricanes have placed defenseman Jay Harrison on injured reserve. Harrison suffered a concussion at Tampa Bay on Dec. 21. He has seven points and 30 penalty minutes in 32 games this season.

Jay Harrison's undisclosed injury is a concussion. He didn't play Monday because of the ailment and a timetable for his return should be considered uncertain.

Jay Harrison is dealing with an undisclosed injury. Harrison will miss Monday's contest and should be regarded as day-to-day beyond that. He has seven points and 30 penalty minutes in 32 games this season.

Jay Harrison was back in the Carolina lineup Sunday. Harrison replaced Tim Gleason and was minus-one in 14:11 minutes of action. Harrison was a healthy scratch his previous three games and with a goal and three points to go with 19 penalty minutes, he is a fringe fantasy player in deep traditional leagues.

Jay Harrison has been added to Team Canada's roster for the upcoming world championship. He was said to be suffering from a concussion at the end of the regular season. Maybe his status will be determined just before the tournament begins in May. If he is healthy and ready to play then he will join fellow Hurricanes Eric Staal, Jordan Staal and Jeff Skinner in Canada's lineup.
