Carolina Hurricanes forward Jordan Martinook will undergo surgery on Friday to repair a core muscle injury for the second time this year and miss the next six to eight weeks.
Martinook, 27, has played in all four of Carolina’s games (4-0-0) to start the new season and has one assist.
The six-foot-one, 204-pound left-winger missed time during last season’s Stanley Cup Playoffs and had a similar procedure after the Hurricanes were eliminated by the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference Final.
Martinook had a career high 15 goals during the 2018-19 campaign and added 10 assists in 82 regular season games.
