Carolina Hurricanes right wing Andrei Svechnikov (upper body) will remain sidelined on Tuesday evening when the Hurricanes host the Nashville Predators. Svechnikov has missed the previous six contests due to this injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status leading up to their next contest on Friday evening against the Montreal Canadiens. Before his injury, Svechnikov was riding a five-game scoreless streak. However, before this minor skid, the 24-year-old tallied nine points (three goals) over his last eight contests. Through 63 games this season, Svechnikov has scored 18 goals and added 25 helpers, with 17 of his points coming on the power play. While he remains out, Taylor Hall should continue to see time on the second offensive line.
Carolina Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov (upper body) will likely remain sidelined for Thursday's matchup against the San Jose Sharks. Svechnikov returned to practice on Monday, raising hopes that he would be ready to rejoin the action against the Sharks; however, the Russian forward is considered doubtful for Thursday's game. Tyson Jost is set to keep his spot in the lineup, while Jackson Blake is expected to continue skating in a first-line role. The rookie winger broke a five-game dry spell with an assist last time out against the Philadelphia Flyers. Overall, Blake has recorded 23 points (11 goals, 12 assists) in 67 games during his rookie season, but he has only added to his tally three times since the start of February.
Carolina Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov (upper body) returned to the ice on Monday and could be ready to rejoin the action in Thursday's matchup against the San Jose Sharks. The Russian forward has been unavailable for three games due to an upper-body injury. "We'll find out," Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour said when asked if Svechnikov could play Thursday. "We've got a couple more days. We'll see where he's at." Before exiting the lineup, Svechnikov went five consecutive games without recording any points. However, a haul of 43 points (18 goals, 25 assists) in 63 games places him among Carolina's top scorers this season. He leads the team with nine power-play goals.
Carolina Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup on Friday against the Detroit Red Wings and is also expected to miss Saturday's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. He withdrew from the lineup earlier this week due to an undisclosed injury. According to Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site, head coach Rod Brind'Amour hopes Svechnikov can return to action next week. In Tuesday's game against the Tampa Bay Lightning, Tyson Jost rejoined the lineup as Svechnikov's replacement. However, he offers no fantasy value as a fourth-line piece. Jackson Blake has probably received the biggest boost from a fantasy perspective, joining the first line. The 21-year-old will look to end a four-game pointless streak on Friday. Blake has recorded 22 points (11 goals, 11 assists) in 65 games for the season.
Carolina Hurricanes right wing Andrei Svechnikov (undisclosed) is not expected to return to the lineup on Friday evening when the Hurricanes face the Detroit Red Wings. Svechnikov was unable to play during their previous contest on Tuesday and is in line to miss his second-straight contest. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status, but given this update, they should expect Jackson Blake to continue to be deployed on the top forward line. Before his injury, the 24-year-old was held off the scoresheet in his last four contests. However, prior to this slump, Svechnikov tallied nine points (three goals) over his previous eight games. As a result, fantasy managers should view Blake as a viable streaming option and top play in DFS as he will be deployed on the top forward unit facing a weak Detroit defense.

Ryan Suzuki will exit the lineup on Tuesday and has been reassigned to the minors.
According to Walt Ruff, Carolina Hurricanes right wing Andrei Svechnikov (upper body) was a full participant during Monday's practice. Svechnikov sat out during their contest on Saturday against the Los Angeles Kings. However, seeing him back at practice on Monday suggests he should be in a great position to return to action on Tuesday evening against the Winnipeg Jets. Over his previous seven contests, Svechnikov has found the back of the net two times and added three helpers. During this stretch, he logged 16 hits and 20 shots on goal. Through 52 games, Svechnikov has scored 17 goals and tallied 20 helpers with 146 shots on goal and 105 hits.

Over his previous five contests, Svechnikov has tallied five points (two goals, three assists). Fantasy managers should expect Svechnikov to continue to play on the second line alongside newly acquired Taylor Hall and Jesperi Kotkaniemi. He will look to stay productive on Thursday evening against the Chicago Blackhawks.

In 26 appearances, Svechnikov has contributed nine goals and 13 assists. Half of his 22 points have come with the man advantage.

These are Svechnikov's first points of the series. He's sitting on the top line with Aho and Guentzel and should do a lot more damage in the 2024 playoffs.
