Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Ends goal drought Tuesday

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.
