RALEIGH, N.C. — The Carolina Hurricanes are getting production throughout their lineup to start the NHL playoffs. They'll need it going forward if they're going to take down the Presidents' Trophy-winning New York Rangers.
“You have to have everybody contribute to win a series at some point,” coach Rod Brind'Amour said after Tuesday's 6-3 clinching win against the Islanders. And that one came eight seconds after the 24-year-old Drury had the go-ahead goal, marking the first of his career in the post-season. Drury, who also had assists in Games 1 and 2, centred the third line Tuesday after starting the series as a fourth-line winger.
Having Svechnikov back helps after he missed last year’s playoffs with a knee injury. He gives Carolina a hard-skating and physical forward who is a key part of its forecheck and had dominant stretches in the Islanders series. The hope for Carolina is taking last year’s core pieces and adding Svechnikov, defenceman Dmitry Orlov as a summer signing, and Guentzel and Kuznetsov as deadline pickups is enough to push deeper.
Forward Jesper Fast is likely out for the post-season with a neck injury, while the Hurricanes lost veteran defenceman Brett Pesce to a lower-body injury in Game 2. His status remains unclear.
