    Nystrom suited up in 38 regular-season games for the Hurricanes in 2025-26, recording one goal, nine assists and 10 hits while averaging 15:11 of ice time. With Nystrom heading back to the minors, Carolina should be at full strength heading into Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

  • Nystrom scored his first career goal in Thursday's 4-3 shootout loss to Chicago.

    The 23-year-old rookie tied the game at 1-1 midway through the first period, going top shelf on Spencer Knight from the faceoff circle. Nystrom, a seventh-round pick in the 2021 NHL Draft, has taken advantage of injuries to handle a fairly steady role on Carolina's blue line this season as part of the third pairing. Through 36 games, he's delivered nine points, 42 shots on net, 21 blocked shots and a plus-4 rating.
