Andrei Svechnikov Pots Seventh Postseason Goal
Carolina Hurricanes winger Andrei Svechnikov celebrated his seventh goal of the postseason in Monday's Game 4 against the Washington Capitals, completing the scoring in a 5-2 win with an empty-net goal. With the goal, Svechnikov surpassed Eric Staal on the franchise's all-time playoff scoring list, occupying the second spot behind Sebastian Aho with 44 points (22 goals, 22 assists) in 60 games. Staal was the last Hurricanes player to score as many as seven goals in a single playoff campaign, having lit the lamp 10 times in 2009. Current Hurricanes head coach Rod Brind'Amour holds the franchise record with 12 goals in a single postseason. Svechnikov will get plenty of opportunities to match it, now that Carolina is just one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals. He has accumulated eight points overall in nine playoff games this year.
