What Happened
Carolina Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis advanced his rehabilitation on Thursday by removing his yellow no-contact jersey during the team's skate ahead of their matchup against Vancouver. Jarvis underwent surgery on his right shoulder on June 24 to repair tears to his labrum and rotator cuff, facing an initial recovery projection of four to six months. He had worn the non-contact sweater since the beginning of preseason camp. Jarvis noted to reporters that shedding the jersey marks his biggest step forward and allows him to absorb contact again. He previously indicated a target return for Carolina's November trip to Finland or potentially by the end of October.
