Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Unavailable Monday
Rotowire
Svechnikov won't be available Monday versus the Flyers for an undisclosed reason.
Svechnikov has scored in six of his last seven outings, including four tallies with the man advantage.

Svechnikov almost certainly will be back for the playoffs, but he should be considered questionable versus the Islanders on Tuesday.

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.

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.
