Hurricanes' Jarvis: 'Spaced-out head' key to hot streak

In the words of Baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra, "How can you think and hit at the same time?"

Carolina Hurricanes forward Seth Jarvis is apparently adopting the same mindset as the legendary catcher - famous for his "Yogi-isms" - during his recent hot streak. It's been like deja vu all over again lately for Jarvis, who has scored in four straight games.

"I haven't been really thinking, so that's been good," Jarvis said Thursday, according to The Hockey News' Ryan Henkel. "I've just had a clear mind. I just go out there wanting to have fun, and usually when I want to have fun, I play my best hockey. Everything just kind of flows well. I just keep a pretty spaced-out head. Nothing going on in there. Just go on the ice, have fun, and let the rest take care of itself."

Jarvis has formed good chemistry with key deadline acquisition Jake Guentzel on the top line with Sebastian Aho, as the trio has totaled 12 points in the two games since being put together. You can observe a lot just by watching, so it's possible Jarvis' teammates will take notice of his new mentality.

The future ain't what it used to be, but at 22 years old, Jarvis' appears to be bright, as he's already shattered his previous career highs with 25 goals and 30 assists in 69 games this season.
