The Eastern Conference Final kicks off Thursday with the NHLCanes facing the NHLBruins. RoryBoylen has what you need to know. 👇
His first two playoff goals in Game 1 against Washington both came in the third period and clawed back a 3-0 deficit to 3-2. He assisted on the tying goal in Game 2 of that series, which sent the game to overtime, and he was one of Carolina’s best players to that point. But, after a Game 3 fight with Alex Ovechkin sidelined Svechnikov for the rest of that series, he returned in Round 2 with less ice time as he got his legs back under him.
This late in the playoffs, players are being ground down, so any rest is advantageous. The fact Svechnikov has shown tremendous confidence already while also not playing the full slate because of the injury means he may be fresher than some Bruins he’ll be matched up against. If the Bruins happen to win the battle in the top six, it’s great for Carolina to have this ace up its sleeve.
