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.
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.

If he is unable to suit up on opening night, look for Teuvo Teravainen to jump into the top-6.
