Thursday night was all about Andrei Svechnikov for the Carolina Hurricanes.
The 22-year-old winger collected his second hat trick in as many games against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers this season, but this time, the result for the team was drastically different.
On the night after a sloppy shutout loss in Florida, the Hurricanes put together one of their most complete efforts of the season. Their 7-2 blowout win saw them produce a season-high six goals and 22 high-danger shot attempts at five-on-five.
Svechnikov’s hatty is the highlight of the game, but Carolina’s third line had a hat trick of their own - from a certain point of view.
