“I think he’ll get a few more before his time’s over in his career,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “He’s a gamer, too. This guy is one of those players in this break that worked on this game, he wanted to get better. I think you’re seeing that.” Svechnikov's first career hat trick is the first in the franchise's 144-game post-season history, including the Hartford Whalers. He became only the eighth player in NHL history age 20 or younger to tally a post-season hat trick, the last being Nashville's Filip Forsberg in April 2015.
Jordan Martinook also scored for the Hurricanes, following Svechnikov's second goal 71 seconds later for a 3-1 lead. Teams that have taken a 2-0 lead in a best-of-5 are 55-1 in those series, though the NHL hasn't had one since 1986.
