Rotowire
Svechnikov (upper body) won't be in the lineup Saturday versus the Kings.

Svechnikov scored two goals, including the game-winner, and added an assist in Tuesday's 4-0 win over the Rangers.
The 24-year-old winger snapped a wrist shot past Igor Shesterkin just 56 seconds into the first period, and it turned out to be all the offense Frederik Andersen would need on the night.

Rotowire
Svechnikov recorded a goal, three shots and two hits in Friday's 2-0 win over the Canucks.

Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: First 5-on-5 goal since October
Rotowire
Svechnikov scored a goal in Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Lightning.
It was a backhand flutterer from the top of the circles that Andrei Vasilevskiy whiffed on. Svechnikov has scuffled a bit this season -- this was his first goal in his last 10 games (three assists), and his first 5-on-5 goal since October. Gulp. Last season, Svechnikov delivered 19 goals and 52 points (144 shots) in 59 appearances. This year, he's on pace for 58 in 82 games. He's better than this, so something will give soon enough... we think.
