Andrei Svechnikov will hit 75 points

Andrei Svechnikov has been an absolute stud from the moment he was drafted by the Carolina Hurricanes in the 2018 NHL Draft. In just 46 games this season, Svechnikov has already managed to get 42 points and is leading the team in total points. I don’t think it’s much of a stretch to say he can secure 75 points before the end of the season, and even more should the Hurricanes make the playoffs.

You can really tell the kid loves being here, and he really loves all the attention and love/support he gets from the fans. It makes him want to be even better of a player and you can really tell he feeds off of it.

Plus, let’s not forget Svechnikov is only 19 years old. 19. He is not even close to hitting his prime yet, and that will be even more fun to watch in the coming years.

Side prediction:  Andrei Svechnikov will score at least one more lacrosse-style goal before the end of the season as well. I mean, c’mon, what can’t this kid do?
