Dustin Tokarski - NHL News & Rumors

Returned to minors Tokarski was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Friday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Tokarski will head back to the minors now that Frederik Andersen (knee) has been activated off injured reserve. During his NHL stint, the 35-year-old Tokarski went 4-2-0 with a 2.18 GAA, .902 save percentage and one shutout. At this point, Tokarski figures to spend the rest of the campaign with the Wolves but will be brought back up should an injury need arise.

Falls to Sabres Tokarski stopped 21 of 24 shots in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Sabres. The fourth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact The Hurricanes dominated large parts of the game, but they didn't get any bounces in the first two periods. Tokarski wasn't able to keep it close, and the 3-0 deficit he created was too much to overcome. The 35-year-old backup had won his previous three starts, including a shutout over the Canucks last Friday. Tokarski is now 4-2-0 with a 2.18 GAA and a .902 save percentage over six starts this season. Pyotr Kochetkov will likely start Friday at home versus the Golden Knights.

Impact Tokarski has won three of his four starts at the NHL level, but this one wasn't a particularly inspiring performance. He gave up two goals in the first period and blew a 3-2 lead in the third, but Sebastian Aho saved the day with a goal 1:30 into overtime. Tokarski has allowed 10 goals on 94 shots in his four appearances, and he's likely to remain in a backup role behind Pyotr Kochetkov. The Hurricanes' next back-to-back is a pair of home games versus the Maple Leafs on Thursday and the Canucks on Friday.

Pittsburgh is tied for 15th in the league with 3.03 goals per game in 2024-25.

It was the 35-year-old's third appearance of the campaign, and he improved to 2-1-0 with a .907 save percentage and a 2.35 GAA.

Slated to face New Jersey Tokarski is set to start at home against the Devils on Saturday, per Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer.

Impact Tokarski stopped 20 of 24 shots en route to a 5-2 loss to Nashville on Monday. It was his second start of 2024-25 after saving 27 of 28 shots to earn a 4-1 victory over Columbus on Dec. 15. The Devils rank seventh in goals per game with 3.37.

Tagged with loss Monday Tokarski stopped 20 of 24 shots in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Predators. The fifth goal was an empty-netter with 3:12 left in the third period.

Impact Tokarski made his second start of the season Monday but didn't look good, especially when his lone previous start was a 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets in which he stopped 27 of 28 shots. Tokarski is expected to remain as Pyotr Kochetkov's backup for the foreseeable future, so he's not expected to carry a lot of fantasy upside outside of being a potential streaming option when Kochetkov gets some rest.

Tokarski's playing time is likely to remain limited, but the Hurricanes have a back-to-back next Sunday and Monday with road games against the Rangers and Predators just before the holiday break.
