ANDREI SVECHNIKOV NEWS

Two points in finale Svechnikov scored a power-play goal and added an even-strength assist in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Senators.

Impact The 25-year-old winger potted his 20th goal of the season early in the second period, as he waited until the final game of the regular season to reach that milestone for the fifth time. It was Svechnikov's first multi-point performance since Feb. 22, and over nine contests since returning from an upper-body injury in late March, he's produced two goals and five points.

Svechnikov has managed 46 points, 172 shots on net, 142 hits, 57 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 68 contests this season.

APRIL 4 • DEADSPIN.COM

Out through road trip Svechnikov (undisclosed) will be reevaluated following the Hurricanes' four-game road trip, Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal reports Friday.

Impact According to head coach Rod Brind'Amour, Svechnikov is only being held out for precautionary reasons -- though that doesn't necessarily match with the fact that he will be sidelined for the next four games. The 25-year-old winger previously missed seven games with an upper-body injury, so it's possible this latest ailment is related. With Svechnikov on the shelf, Eric Robinson will step into a top-six role.

Injury not considered serious Svechnikov (undisclosed) didn't finish Wednesday's game versus the Capitals, Chip Alexander of The Raleigh News & Observer reports.

Impact Svechnikov was limited to 8:39 of ice time Wednesday, but head coach Rod Brind'Amour was not overly concerned about the winger's status following the game. Nonetheless, fantasy managers will want to check in on Svechnikov's status prior to Friday's game in Detroit. The Hurricanes clinched a playoff spot with their win Wednesday and will likely be cautious with any injury situations for the rest of the regular season, as they are virtually locked into a first-round matchup with the Devils.

Nabs assist in Sunday's win Svechnikov posted an assist and four PIM in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Islanders.

Impact Svechnikov has a goal and an assist over two games since he returned from missing seven contests to an upper-body injury. The winger was back on the second line Sunday after playing on the fourth line Friday versus the Canadiens. The 25-year-old has struggled a bit in 2024-25, earning 19 goals, 26 helpers, 170 shots on net, 134 hits and 57 PIM across 65 appearances. He's at risk of falling short of the 50-point mark for the third time in his career.

Tallies empty netter in return Svechnikov scored an empty-net goal in Friday's 4-1 win over the Canadiens.

Impact After missing seven games with an upper-body injury, Svechnikov found the scoresheet with an empty-net goal to seal the win for Carolina. Friday's tally helped the right-winger end a five-game scoreless drought he experienced before the injury. Overall, the 25-year-old Svechnikov has 19 goals, 44 points and 169 shots on net in 64 games this season. While Svechnikov's 2024-25 campaign has been slightly underwhelming offensively, he still has the opportunity to break the 50-point threshold for the fourth consecutive year if he can get hot down the stretch. Svechnikov adds solid value in standard formats for the fantasy postseason.

Impact Svechnikov believes he will be ready to return to the lineup following a seven-game absence.
