Thursday morning, the Carolina Hurricanes held their morning skate before Game Four and injured forward Andrei Svechnikov was on the ice doing some light skating.
The 19-year-old rookie will not be in the lineup tonight after being knocked out by Alex Ovechkin in a fight during Game Three.
Svechnikov sported a shiner under his left eye. He also wore a full cage.
Hurricanes coach Rod Brind’Amour confirmed that Svechnikov won’t play tonight and is unsure when or if Svenchnikov will return for the rest of the series.
