RALEIGH, N.C. - Don Waddell, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League’s Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that the team has recalled defenseman Dylan Coghlan from the Springfield Thunderbirds of the American Hockey League (AHL).

Coghlan, 25, has posted two points (1g, 1a) in five AHL games with Springfield this season. He skated in 17 NHL games with Carolina in 2022-23, earning three assists. The 6’2”, 208-pound defenseman has registered 22 points (6g, 16a) in 105 career NHL games with Carolina and Vegas. Coghlan has recorded 69 points (29g, 40a) in 136 career AHL games with Springfield and Chicago. Prior to turning professional, he tallied 145 points (38g, 107a) in 265 WHL games with Tri-City from 2014-18. The Duncan, B.C., native was acquired by the Hurricanes along with Max Pacioretty from the Golden Knights in exchange for future considerations on July 13, 2022. 

Coghlan is one of two T-Birds players from the season-opening roster (alongside Jamieson Rees) to be loaned to Springfield by the Carolina Hurricanes, who do not have an AHL affiliate for the 2023-24 season.

The T-Birds look to get back in the win column on Friday at 7:00 p.m. when they visit the Hartford Wolf Pack in a rematch of Opening Night before returning home to the MassMutual Center on Saturday, October 28 for the annual Ok-T-Bird-Fest game against the Providence Bruins. The puck will drop at 7:05 p.m. at the Thunderdome.
