Rotowire
Svechnikov scored a goal on four shots, added two PIM and logged two hits in Saturday's 5-3 loss to the Avalanche.
Svechnikov has scored in five of the last seven games, and he has 13 points over his last nine outings. The winger had the goal to put the Hurricanes up 3-1 in the second period, though the lead wouldn't last. He's now at 12 goals, 31 points, 117 shots, 68 hits, 30 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 41 appearances. Svechnikov is currently on the top line with a sizzling Sebastian Aho, which should give the former a chance to keep his own hot stretch rolling.

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. Over the last eight games, Svechnikov has four goals and eight assists, making it one of his best stretches of the season. 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.

Rotowire
Svechnikov scored a goal on three shots, added two PIM and doled out four hits in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Panthers.
Svechnikov has two goals and eight helpers over his last nine games, but he's added 10 PIM in that span.

Svechnikov has six helpers over his last six games after assisting on both of Sebastian Aho's goals in this contest. The 25-year-old Svechnikov is stuck in a 12-game goal drought, but he's put up eight helpers and 32 shots on net in that span, so he's still doing the right things. The winger is up to 20 points (seven on the power play), 92 shots, 48 hits, 18 PIM and a minus-2 rating across 33 outings this season.

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. The 25-year-old winger has returned to being a bit streaky after piecing it all together in November. However, fantasy managers should still have room for his all-around contributions. 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.
Svechnikov notched two assists, two shots on goal, two PIM, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Friday's 5-1 win over the Jets.
Svechnikov helped out on the last two goals of Seth Jarvis' hat trick, which came in the third period as the Hurricanes pulled away late. This was Svechnikov's first multi-point effort since Nov. 14 versus the Canucks -- he was limited to a goal and an assist over his last six outings. The winger is at seven goals, seven helpers, 71 shots on net, 30 hits, 12 PIM and an even plus-minus rating through 24 appearances. He continues to fill a top-six role, but Svechnikov's offense can run streaky.

Hurricanes' Andrei Svechnikov: Scores game-winner on power play
Rotowire
Svechnikov scored a power-play goal on five shots in Friday's 4-3 win over the Jets.
He gave the Hurricanes a 4-2 lead in the third period, and that insurance tally proved vital when Gabriel Vilardi answered just under a minute later. Svechnikov has scored five goals and added four assists over his last nine contests, which has helped him move past his slow start to the season. Overall, he's at seven goals, 12 points (four on the power play), 60 shots on net, 23 hits, 10 PIM and a plus-2 rating through 21 outings.

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: Scores in second straight
Rotowire
Svechnikov recorded a power-play goal and an even-strength assist in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Sabres.
The 25-year-old forward gave the Hurricanes a 2-1 lead with a power-play tally at the 4:34 mark of the second period, and he also set up Carolina's first goal, courtesy of Sebastian Aho, in the opening frame.

He's found the back of the net in four of his last six games, tallying four goals, two assists, 18 shots, six hits, two blocked shots and a plus-5 rating in that stretch.

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.
