1. Svech Slump to End?

I don’t know about you guys, but I have a feeling that we’re getting closer and closer to seeing Andrei Svechnikov‘s recent scoring slump come to an end.

Brind’amour has moved him up and down the lineup and given him a ton of opportunities to dig himself out of the slump he’s in, and I’ve definitely seen flashes of brilliance from him every now and then.

This is more of a prediction and less of a key to victory, but I honestly think Svech ends his scoring slump tonight.

Whether or not he does so in spectacular fashion remains to be seen, but all it would take is a few goals or assists to help him rebuild some confidence in himself.

Hopefully the referees let him play his game tonight without calling him for breathing on a guy too hard.
