RALEIGH, N.C. — Eric Tulsky, General Manager of the National Hockey League's Carolina Hurricanes, announced that the team has recalled former Quinnipiac men's ice hockey standout and 2023 National Champion Skyler Brind'Amour to the NHL club for the final days of the regular season.
Brind'Amour, 25, has recorded 23 points (16g, 7a) in 67 games this season with Chicago to rank third on the club in goals and second in shorthanded goals (2). He made his professional debut with the Charlotte Checkers (AHL) in 2023-24, registering three goals and five assists (8 points) in 54 appearances. He skated in 145 career NCAA games with Quinnipiac University from 2019-23, totaling 76 points (23g, 53a) with 84 penalty minutes and a plus-43 plus/minus rating. Brind'Amour finished the 2022-23 campaign with Quinnipiac with 500 faceoff wins, good for the best in the country, leading the unit to the second-best win percentage in the country (57.0 percent).
He helped the club win the NCAA Championship in 2022-23 and was named the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Best Defensive Forward and to the ECAC Third All-Star Team with 32 points (14g, 18a) in 41 games. He was selected by the Edmonton Oilers in the sixth round, 177th overall, of the 2017 NHL Draft, and is the son of Hurricanes Head Coach Rod Brind'Amour.
Carolina has two games left on its regular season slate, playing in Montreal on Wednesday night before playing Ottawa on Thursday to close out the campaign. They have clinched the No. 2 seed in the Metropolitan Division and will play the New Jersey Devils in a best-of-seven playoff series starting this weekend.
