Svechnikov scored a goal on nine shots and added five hits in Tuesday's 5-4 double-overtime win over the Devils in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

Svechnikov's tally was the third in a span of 3:54 early in the second period as the Hurricanes wiped out the Devils' initial 3-0 lead. It's been a positive start to the playoffs for Svechnikov, who has five goals, one assist, 22 shots on net, 16 hits and a plus-3 rating over five postseason contests. The Hurricanes were the first team to secure advancement to the second round, so they'll have a bit of a break before facing the winner of the Capitals-Canadiens series.

Svechnikov scored three goals on a game-high six shots, doled out five hits and went plus-2 in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Devils in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Even though Carolina lost Frederik Andersen to an undisclosed injury in the second period, Svechnikov's contributions helped the Canes move closer to a first-round series win. The 25-year-old Svechnikov scored twice at even strength and once on the power play, with his final marker being an empty-netter. The Russian winger is the only player in franchise history to record a playoff hat trick, having now accomplished that feat twice in his career, according to the Hurricanes. Svechnikov has been held off the scoresheet only once in this series, having generated four goals and one assist across four games.

Svechnikov notched a power-play assist and two shots on goal in Friday's 3-2 double-overtime loss to the Devils in Game 3.

EDGE Analysis

Svechnikov has a goal, an assist, seven shots on net and six hits over three playoff contests. He set up Sebastian Aho for the game-tying goal at 12:20 of the third period. Svechnikov's power-play role should help him get more looks on offense, but he's struggled with consistency at times in 2024-25, which has landed him a spot in the middle six regularly.

Svechnikov scored an empty-net goal and fired five shots on net in Sunday's 4-1 win over New Jersey in Game 1.

EDGE Analysis

Svechnikov found New Jersey's empty net with two and a half minutes left in Game 1 to help seal the win for Carolina. He has struggled to put more than a couple of shots on net per game this season, so his five shots on goal in Game 1 helped spark goals in the series opener. Svechnikov now has a goal in back-to-back games dating back to the Hurricanes' last contest of the regular season. The 25-year-old winger is in a great place to produce in a top-six role for Carolina this postseason. However, his play has been inconsistent this season which led to him posting 48 points in 72 regular-season outings.

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

EDGE Analysis

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 notched an assist, four hits, two blocked shots and a plus-2 rating in Thursday's 5-4 shootout loss to the Capitals.

EDGE Analysis

Svechnikov has battled injuries recently but still has three points over his last five outings. If the injury issue crops up again, don't be surprised to see Svechnikov rest before the end of the regular season -- the Hurricanes are locked into a first-round matchup versus the Devils to begin the playoffs. Svechnikov has managed 46 points, 172 shots on net, 142 hits, 57 PIM and a minus-6 rating through 68 contests this season.

Svechnikov (undisclosed) will play against Buffalo on Tuesday, per Cory Lavalette of the North State Journal.

EDGE Analysis

Svechnikov will return to a middle-six role and see time on the power play after missing the last two games. He has accounted for 19 goals, 45 points, 170 shots on net and 135 hits through 66 appearances this season. Svechnikov and Jordan Staal (lower body) will replace Jesperi Kotkaniemi (undisclosed) and Justin Robidas, who is back with AHL Chicago, in Tuesday's lineup.

Svechnikov (undisclosed) participated fully in Monday's practice, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Svechnikov has missed the last two games but appears to be progressing toward a potential return to action. However, it is still unclear if he will be ready for Tuesday's matchup versus Buffalo. Svechnikov has generated 19 goals, 45 points, 170 shots on net and 135 hits through 66 appearances this season.

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

EDGE Analysis

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. Due to Svechnikov being on the shelf, Eric Robinson will step into a top-six role.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
