DeAngelo picked up an assist in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche.

EDGE Analysis

The much-traveled blueliner helped set up Anders Lee for the game's opening goal early in the second period. It was DeAngelo's first point in two games since joining the Islanders following a KHL stint, and while the Isles didn't get a power-play opportunity Tuesday, he should see a heavy workload with the man advantage as long as Noah Dobson (lower body) and Ryan Pulock (upper body) are on the shelf.

DeAngelo inked a one-year contract with the Islanders on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

DeAngelo played in the KHL this season before SKA St. Petersburg terminated his contract despite his six goals and 32 points over 34 KHL contests. The defenseman will add some offense to an Islanders team that is last in power-play goals with 14 and are missing their top offensive blueliner, Noah Dobson, who is week-to-week with a lower-body injury.

DeAngelo signed a one-year contract with KHL club SKA St. Petersburg on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

DeAngelo saw action in just 31 regular-season games for the Hurricanes last year in which he generated three goals, eight assists and six power-play points while averaging a career-low 14:20 of ice time. It seems the 28-year-old blueliner didn't have any significant offers from NHL clubs this summer and will need to revitalize his career in the KHL.

DeAngelo will require offseason hand surgery, according to Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.

EDGE Analysis

DeAngelo is eligible for unrestricted free agency in July after completing a one-year, $1.675 million contract with the Hurricanes. The 28-year-old blueliner generated three goals, 11 points, 44 shots on net and 18 blocked shots in 31 regular-season appearances during the 2023-24 campaign. DeAngelo also contributed two assists, 16 shots on goal, seven blocked shots and eight hits across nine playoff outings.

DeAngelo logged an assist and went minus-2 in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rangers in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

DeAngelo has earned both of his helpers this postseason over the last three games. While he continues to see a bottom-four role due to the absence of Brett Pesce (lower body), DeAngelo isn't trusted to handle many minutes. In addition to two assists, he's managed 12 shots on net, six hits, five blocked shots, six PIM and a minus-2 rating over seven playoff appearances.

DeAngelo's (wrist) x-rays came back negative and the blueliner is expected to be available for Game 1 against the Rangers, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

DeAngelo played in the last three games for the Canes while Brett Pesce (lower body) was unavailable. For now, DeAngelo should be in the lineup for Game 1, whenever it is announced, but will likely be relegated to the press box once Pesce, who is expected to return at some point versus New York, is cleared to play.

DeAngelo (wrist) is questionable for the start of the second round, per Luke DeCock of The Raleigh News & Observer on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

DeAngelo was injured after absorbing a slash during Tuesday's 6-3 victory over the Islanders. That Game 5 win clinched the series for Carolina, so DeAngelo and the rest of the Hurricanes have some time to rest before their quest for the Stanley Cup resumes. If DeAngelo is available, then he might serve on the second or third pairing, but if Brett Pesce (lower body) is healthy as well, then DeAngelo is more likely to be scratched.

DeAngelo went for X-rays after taking a slash Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Islanders, Michael Russo of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

DeAngelo was able to return after the incident, but the Hurricanes will give him further evaluation after clinching their first-round series win. The defenseman had no points in three outings after replacing Brett Pesce (lower body) in the lineup. DeAngelo's status should be updated before the start of the Hurricanes' second-round series versus the Rangers.

DeAngelo recorded an assist and two blocked shots in Friday's 5-2 win over the Blues.

EDGE Analysis

DeAngelo has appeared in just nine NHL games since the calendar flipped to 2024, with the eighth-year defenseman often labeled a healthy scratch. Despite adding 42 points with the Flyers last season, DeAngelo has largely fallen out of favor in the fantasy realm, as the playoff-bound Hurricanes simply don't need him for heavy minutes. He's averaging 14:01 of ice time in Carolina as measured against his career-high 22:04 average for Philadelphia in 2022-23.

DeAngelo was placed on waivers Thursday, per Chris Johnston of The Athletic.

EDGE Analysis

DeAngelo's placement on waivers may simply be the result of Carolina seeking additional roster flexibility ahead of Friday's trade deadline, so it wouldn't be surprising to see him stick with the Hurricanes rather than head to the AHL in the event he goes unclaimed on the wire. DeAngelo, who's been a healthy scratch for three straight games, has been limited to 10 points through 27 appearances with Carolina this year.
