1. Did We See First Line Svech?

Oh, yes we did. In a big way.

Rod Brind’amour made the right choice in lining Andrei Svechnikov up with Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen again.

Svech registered an assist on Teuvo’s goal in the 1st period; the Carolina Hurricanes’ first goal of the game.

The sophomore Russian phenom also notched a successful attempt in the shootout, as he beat Marc-Andre Fleury by way of the coveted five-hole.

Alongside Svech, Teuvo and Aho assisted each other on their respective goals as well. This line, as I’ve mentioned countless times, is absolutely lethal. 

The ‘S.A.T.’ line continues to produce, and all of us who have been literally begging Roddy to put this line together for months continue to relish every second of it.
