Svechnikov's 21:29 marked a significant jump from his typical 16:59 per game, and he made the most of the extra opportunity with five shots and a plus-2 rating. He operates on Carolina's first power-play unit, where he averages 2:46 a night, fourth among all Hurricanes skaters. His elite process score suggests he creates enough chances to sustain strong production.

The Hurricanes have three games remaining this week, on Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday. Svechnikov's combination of volume, ice time and power-play deployment keeps him locked into fantasy lineups. His recent 0.36 goals and 0.42 assists per game establish a solid scoring floor, and nights like Tuesday show the ceiling when everything connects.

What to do

• Start Svechnikov in all three of Carolina's remaining games this week.

• His elite underlying play and power-play role make him a strong play in daily formats.

• Expect continued volume with his 2.6 shots per game and first-unit power-play time.
