As we draw closer to the start of the 2025-26 season, who could the three potential breakout players be for the Carolina Hurricanes this upcoming season? Could we see these guys jump into bigger roles with the Hurricanes this year as the team tries to make its eighth consecutive playoff birth? On the Wednesday Edition of Locked On Hurricanes, host Zach Martin shares his thoughts on the first player to have a breakout season, Logan Stankoven. What can the 22-year-old Kamloops product bring to the Hurricanes in his first full season with the team? After a stellar 19-game start in the regular season and 15 games in the 2025 playoffs, are we in for a huge season from Stank? Secondly, Zach dives into why he thinks Fargo, ND native Jackson Blake will have a massive sophomore season in the league after a stellar rookie campaign. He had 17 goals and 34 points in his first season in the NHL, and Zach thinks he will take it to another level. Finally, Zach wraps up the show by giving his thoughts on why Alexander Nikishin will thrive in his first full season in North America. While it will be his first full pro season in the NHL, there is a ton of upside to the Russian phenom who looks to be an anchor on the Hurricanes' defense for a long time. All of that, and more, on the latest episode of Locked On Hurricanes.
