After a challenging season, Carolina Hurricanes wing player Andrei Svechnikov rejuvenates at the Stanley Cup playoffs.
25-year-old Hurricanes’ first round series against New Jersey Devils, four goals and five points, there are four goals and five points, on Sunday, a hat on the game 4 in the seven match series, including a hat trick 3-1 ahead of the next round.
Hurricanes will try to continue when they host the demons at the game 5 on Tuesday.
In the season of this year, Svechnikov matched his playoff career with goals, and six points away from the top 11 of his career in the spring.
This normal season 72 matches 48 points (20 goals, 28 assists), 2020-21 55 matches 42 points for the lowest output. 0.67 points per game this season was the second lowest level of his career in 2018-19 only the rookie season (0.45).
“It was a difficult season for me, but now the playoff time is my time. I love this time of the year.” He said. “I love playing a physical game. I’m just trying to do anything to help my team win these games.”
Carolina can proceed to the second round for the fifth season and the sixth time in the last seven years.
Hurricanes can be without the goalkeeper Frederik Andersen. After Timo Meier hit him, he left the game in the early hours of the second period.
Coach Rod Brind’amour did not have an update on Monday. If Andersen was not available, Pyotr Kochetkov, who allowed Andersen’s relief in 15 shots, would shake his head. Kochetkov’s first appearance since April 16.
“Initially there was a little difficult there – it doesn’t want this goal to enter very often – but how do you answer again.” He said. “Then he looked good, he didn’t look shaky. In my opinion, the key after I didn’t go in for a while.
In the meantime, the demons continue to deal with a battered blue line while trying to keep their seasons alive.
Defender Luke Hughes, Brenden Dillon and Johnathan Kovacevic are dealing with injuries. Hughes and Dillon have not played since the game 1 was injured, and Kovacevic was early injured in the game 3.
“These guys are important to us. They’re making you a better and deeper team,” New Jersey coach Sheldon Keefe said. He said. “But as we have proved in the game 3 (3-2 overtime victory), you can overcome it. Even (Sunday), we didn’t have the best game and we made a shot to the third fairy late. There is a way to win. We should just stay on it.”
The demons are also trying to handle a fighting power game that is only 0 to 12 with 14 shots. With a success rate of 28.2 percent in NHL, it is a complete contrast from the normal season they finished third.
“He didn’t change our confidence, Soni said Sleeper Jesper Bratt. “We apply this, we talk about it. We know how to disintegrate. We have to carry out a little better.”
