Seth Jarvis had another strong game in the Hurricanes' 6-4 win over the Islanders. He scored two goals, including a shorthanded one, and took six shots. He has been in great form, recording points in 10 of his last 11 games. This season, he has 29 goals, 58 points, 177 shots, 88 hits, 48 blocked shots, and a plus-11 rating. He has also contributed 16 power-play points and seven shorthanded points.
Jarvis spoke with the media about his performance. He gave credit to Sebastian Aho for helping him succeed this season.
“I give a lot of credit to the guy I’m playing with (Aho). He’s set me up a lot this year. I’m not as hard on myself as I was before, so that probably helps. I think I’ve done a good job in practice to focus on scoring. It translates to games, and I think that’s what I’m seeing now,” he said (via NHL.com).
Then, the discussion shifted to his future. When asked if he would ever consider becoming an NHL general manager, his answer was direct.
“F**k no. I'm not going to be a GM ever,” he said.
Seth Jarvis enjoys playing hockey but has no interest in a front-office role. He prefers being on the ice rather than making roster decisions. Jarvis and the Hurricanes will next play against the Capitals on April 2 at 7:00 PM EDT.

Hurricanes Coach Rod Brind’Amour said that it was a mixed game in terms of performance.
