Svechnikov's seven shots more than doubled his 2.6 per game average and pushed him comfortably above his 0.36 goals and 0.77 points per game marks. His 18:11 of ice time topped his 16:59 nightly average, and the plus-3 rating reflected a strong all-around showing in Carolina's two-goal victory. The goal was his first of the night, while the assist helped the Hurricanes build their lead.

His elite process grade of 95 out of 100 suggests the production is sustainable. He averages 2:46 of power-play time per game on the first unit, fourth among all Carolina skaters, and contributes 0.30 power-play points nightly alongside 1.7 hits and 0.2 blocks. With two games remaining this week on Thursday and Saturday, he remains a reliable top-six option in all formats.

What to do

• Keep Svechnikov in all lineups for Carolina's remaining games this week on Thursday and Saturday.

• His elite underlying play and first-unit power-play role make him a safe hold in all formats.

• Expect his shot volume to settle closer to his 2.6 per game average after Thursday's seven-shot outing.
