Carolina Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov (undisclosed) will come out of the lineup on Friday against the Detroit Red Wings and is not expected to play before the team returns home from a four-game road trip. This is an unfortunate setback for Svechnikov, who just returned from a seven-game absence. However, Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour stated that the Russian forward is being held out only for precautionary reasons. As a result of Svechnikov's absence, Eric Robinson will move into the top six against Detroit. There have been very few moments to celebrate for Robinson in recent games, but he has had a career year in 2024-25 with 31 points (13 goals, 18 assists) in 74 appearances,

Carolina Hurricanes right wing Andrei Svechnikov (undisclosed) was unable to finish Wednesday's contest against the Washington Capitals. However, after the contest, head coach Rod Brind'Amour noted that he did not believe the injury was serious. During this contest, he logged just over eight minutes of ice time and did not get on the scoresheet. He only logged one hit and held a +0 rating. Over his previous two contests, Svechnikov tallied two points (one goal) with three total shots on goal. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Friday evening against the Detroit Red Wings. If Svechnikov were to miss this game, fantasy managers should expect Logan Stankoven or Tyson Jost to have a role in the top-six.

Carolina Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov (upper body) will be back in the lineup on Friday against the Montreal Canadiens. As expected, Svechnikov has received the green light to play on Friday after missing seven games due to an upper-body injury. He will replace Tyson Jost in the lineup. Svechnikov is expected to start the game on the fourth line, but he should see plenty of action. Although all of his last five appearances have ended without any points, Svechnikov has had a solid campaign, recording 43 points (18 goals, 25 assists) in 63 games. He also adds muscle to the lineup, having registered 131 hits this season.

Carolina Hurricanes right wing Andrei Svechnikov (upper body) will remain sidelined on Tuesday evening when the Hurricanes host the Nashville Predators. Svechnikov has missed the previous six contests due to this injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Friday evening against the Montreal Canadiens. Before his injury, Svechnikov was riding a five-game scoreless streak. However, before this minor skid, the 24-year-old tallied nine points (three goals) over his last eight contests. Through 63 games this season, Svechnikov has scored 18 goals and added 25 helpers, with 17 of his points coming on the power play. While he remains out, Taylor Hall should continue to see time on the second offensive line.
