Jarvis was charging toward the net with the puck in overtime on Friday, Dec. 19, when he was tripped up by the Florida Panthers’ Evan Rodrigues and crashed into the net. He was holding his midsection as he ended up down along the boards then was helped off the ice to the dressing room.
‘It’s not good,’ Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour told reporters after the game. ‘He’s going to be out for a while.’
No penalty was called on the play.
Jarvis leads the Hurricanes with 19 goals. He also played for Team Canada in the 4 Nations Face-Off, but the injury could hurt his chances for being named to the Olympic roster, which must be submitted by Dec. 31.
