Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Posts trio of points Thursday
Rotowire
Svechnikov scored two goals on four shots, recorded an assist, served two PIM and dished out two hits in Thursday's 5-4 win over Utah.
Svechnikov tallied an unassisted goal early in the first period before later picking up a power-play helper late in the second. With nearly all hope lost of pulling off a comeback victory, his power-play twine finder sparked a three-goal outbreak to help Carolina steal the win with less than two minutes remaining in the contest. Overall, the 25-year-old winger is up to 20 goals, 26 assists, 145 shots on net and 92 hits across 53 games this season. The budding star has completely bounced back after last year and sits just two points shy of matching the 48 he posted in 72 regular-season games in 2024-25. He is above the necessary pace to reach 70 points for the first time in his career while maintaining strong category coverage, which places him in a fantasy territory he hasn't sniffed since his career-best year during the 2021-22 campaign.

Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Collects three points in loss
Rotowire
Svechnikov scored a goal on five shots and added two assists in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Canadiens.
The Hurricanes' new-look top line of Svechnikov, Sebastian Aho and Nikolaj Ehlers carried the offense, though the lack of support scoring cost the team in the end.

The winger is up to 11 goals, 30 points, 113 shots on net, 66 hits, 28 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 40 appearances this season. He hasn't reached the 60-point mark since 2021-22, but he's on pace to do so this year if he can avoid injuries.

Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Five-game, nine-point streak
Rotowire
Svechnikov scored a goal and added two assists in a 5-2 win over the Red Wings on Saturday.
Svechnikov was forechecking and picked the pocket of Dylan Larkin, which let the sniper break in alone on John Gibson and snap a shot high blocker. The points extended Svechnikov's scoring streak to five games and nine points (three goals, six assists; 14 shots). Svechnikov is also on a three-game goal streak, but he also picked up another minor penalty, this time for roughing. That gives him 12 PIM in his last 10 games. Discipline is the name of the game in Carolina, but he's really put up some solid offense while playing with an edge.

Svechnikov has two goals and eight helpers over his last nine games, but he's added 10 PIM in that span.

Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Provides pair of helpers
Rotowire
Svechnikov notched two assists, two shots on goal, three hits and two blocked shots in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Blue Jackets.
Svechnikov has amassed five helpers over eight games since he last scored a goal against Winnipeg on Nov. 21.

He's up to 17 points (six on the power play), 84 shots on net, 39 hits, 16 PIM and a minus-1 rating over 29 appearances.

Rotowire

Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Three-point effort in overtime win
Rotowire
Svechnikov scored twice (one with the man advantage), added an assist, logged two hits and went plus-2 in Friday's 4-3 overtime win over the Canucks.
Svechnikov had a great offensive game, but his unpenalized high elbow on Filip Hronek late in the contest could be reviewed by the league for supplemental discipline. Prior to that bone-headed play, Svechnikov was involved in all three of the Hurricanes' goals in regulation time. The 25-year-old winger is up to six goals, including three on the power play, while adding four assists, 46 shots on net, 18 hits, six PIM and a plus-3 rating over 17 appearances this year. All of that offense has come since Oct. 28, as he opened the year in an eight-game skid.

Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Sniper's goal in win
Rotowire
Svechnikov scored a goal Thursday in a 4-3 win over the Wild.
Svechnikov took a pass from Alexander Nikishin in the neutral zone, skated to the left circle and ripped a shot between the legs of the Minnesota defender for a short-side snipe. The talented winger has struggled to find his offensive groove this season. The goal was Svechnikov's third (four points) in 13 contests this season. He's too good for this to go on much longer, and you cannot drop him. Bench him until he lights a fire under his game.

Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Scoring pace quickening
Rotowire
Svechnikov scored a goal and added an assist Thursday in a 6-2 win over the Islanders.
Fantasy managers are breathing a sigh of relief. Svechnikov has three points (two goals, one assist) in his last two games after being held scoreless for eight games to start the season. His ice time has dropped from last season (14:51 compared to 17:07), but that's not a significant cause for concern. Carolina is deep, and Svechnikov will bounce back from this and from last season's 48 points in 72 games.

Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Ends goal drought Tuesday
Rotowire
Svechnikov scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 6-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
The 25-year-old winger opened the scoring early in the first period by ripping a one-timer from the high slot past Akira Schmid after a faceoff win by Sebastian Aho. It was Svechnikov's first goal and first point of the season in nine games. While it's reassuring that he's still on the top power-play unit for Carolina, he still has some work to do to regain the trust of fantasy managers after a disappointing 2024-25 regular season that saw him manage just 20 goals and 48 points in 72 contests.
