The Carolina Hurricanes have announced that star forward Andrei Svechnikov will be out indefinitely due to a knee injury.

According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman, Svechnikov has a torn ACL, but the team is seeking a second opinion.

“Andrei had an MRI on Monday afternoon, and had a consultation with our team doctors,” said GM Don Waddell in a prepared statement. “In the interest of being thorough, we are continuing to gather information along with Andrei to make the best decision for his health. We will provide further information after a decision is made.”

Svechnikov, 22, is tied for second on the Hurricanes in points (55) and third in goals (23) in 64 games played this season. Svechnikov, Carolina’s second-round pick in the 2018 NHL Draft, has 112 goals and 152 assists (264 points) in 347 career NHL games with the Hurricanes.

I grew up playing Ball and Roller Hockey day and night somewhat religiously throughout elementary and middle school. The two don't compare though when I lace up the skates and hit the ice. I live and breathe hockey beyond the perspective of "it's just a game" and I will gladly talk hockey for hours with anyone. Hockey is more than just a lifestyle, it's a culture of passionate people who make memories every time the puck is dropped. Hockey has not only helped me get through some of the hardest times in life but has created some of the best memories to date. Want to talk hockey with me? Shoot me an email: iburdetskiy@hookedonhockey.com and let's talk some hockey!
