Hurricanes' Teuvo Teravainen: Tallies goal, but Hurricanes lose
Rotowire
Teravainen supplied a goal in Carolina's 4-3 loss to Florida in Game 4 on Wednesday.
The defeat eliminated the Hurricanes from the playoffs. Teravainen wasn't a significant factor in Carolina's postseason run, with Wednesday's marker being his first goal and first point of the 2023 playoffs. That's largely because Teravainen suffered a broken hand April 19 and underwent surgery, so he was able to participate in just six postseason contests. During the 2022-23 regular season, the 28-year-old had 12 goals and 37 points in 68 outings.

Hurricanes' Teuvo Teravainen: Ruled out for rest of series
Rotowire
Teravainen (hand), as expected, will miss the remainder of the Canes' first-round series against the Islanders, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports Thursday.
Teravainen is scheduled to undergo surgery Thursday, which could see him miss even more games beyond the opening-round series, assuming Carolina advances. The 28-year-old natural center has been struggling to produce offensively of late with just one assist in his last nine contests. Without Teravainen in the lineup, Jesse Puljujarvi figures to step into a first-line role, though Martin Necas or Jesper Fast could also be in the mix.
