Carolina Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov recorded his second career postseason hat trick in Sunday's 5-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils. He became the fourth player in franchise history to score in the opening minute of a playoff game and also found the net in the second and third periods. This was a breakout game for Svechnikov, as he had been limited to one goal and two points through the first three games of the series. On Sunday, Svechnikov became one of the most productive postseason performers in franchise history, reaching 41 points (19 goals, 22 assists) in his 55th appearance. Only Eric Staal (45) and Sebastian Aho (75) have tallied more points in the Stanley Cup Playoffs with the Hurricanes/Whalers.

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.
