Seth Jarvis’ rookie season with the Carolina Hurricanes couldn’t have gone better.
The then 19-year old wasn’t even anticipated to break onto the roster coming into the season, but after a spirited effort through training camp and the preseason, he was still in Carolina come Game 1 of the regular season. He didn’t suit up in the first 8 games of the season, but once an injury to Nino Niederreiter opened up a roster spot, Jarvis was a mainstay.
The Manitoba native finished off that regular season with 17 goals and 40 points in 68 games and followed that up with a strong postseason, potting three goals and eight points in 14 games before being knocked out by Jacob Trouba in the Hurricanes’ final game of the season.
