Svechnikov Hammers Opening PPG

Andrei Svechnikov rips a power-play snipe that sets the tone early, the kind of hammer shot that reminds everyone why Carolina drafted him No. 2 overall back in 2018. He threads it past the goalie with that wicked release, feeding off a setup from Sebastian Aho in front, just seconds into the action. The Russian power forward heats up after a slow start this season, now chasing 70 points with 15 games left and the Hurricanes leaning on his top-line chemistry with Aho and Jarvis.
