Andrei Svechnikov (knee) was a full participant in Monday's morning skate.

Svechnikov will not play on Tuesday and it is still unclear when he will make his return but it appears to be imminent after being unable to suit up for the Hurricanes' first six games. Svechnikov will look to have an immediate impact in the Hurricanes' top six when he returns to the lineup. He had 55 points (23G/ 32A) in 64 games last season.

Andrei Svechnikov (knee) will miss Carolina's season opener and likely won't travel on their upcoming six-game road trip.

Svechnikov's return to the lineup remains uncertain but it appears he will likely miss at least the first six games of the season. Last season, Svechnikov scored 55 points (23G / 32A) in 64 games before having season-ending knee surgery. Teuvo Teravainen stands to be the biggest benefactor and will likely slide up to the left-wing position on the second line.

Andrei Svechnikov continues to skate in a non-contract jersey but looks questionable for opening night.

Svechnikov is still making his recovery after having knee surgery at the end of last season. Before his injury, Svechnikov had 55 points (23G / 32A) in 64 games for the Hurricanes. His status for opening night remains to be seen as he is yet to be a full participant at practice but his status should be confirmed in the coming days. If he is unable to suit up on opening night, look for Teuvo Teravainen to jump into the top-6.

Svechnikov (concussion) will be a game-time decision for Game 3 vs. the Islanders.

Svechnikov has been sidelined by a concussion since being knocked out by Alex Ovechkin in Game 3 of the first round. Svechnikov has been cleared to play but a decision will be officially made after he gets through warmups. It looks like the rookie will be eased back into the lineup and start on the fourth line (with Greg McKegg and Patrick Brown) and second power-play unit. Svechnikov had two goals and one assist in just 34:46 TOI before getting hurt in the first round.

Svechnikov (concussion) will be a game-time decision for Game 1.

Svechnikov’s status remains up in the air as the Hurricanes head into Game 1 of round two against the Islanders. Svechnikov is listed as a game-time decision and would likely replace Patrick Brown or Saku Maenalanen and skate on the second line with Jordan Staal and Justin Williams if he ends up playing.
