This sweet brush from Svechnikov! Russian sniper Karolina scored twice to Ogonyok with spectacular throws – 01/08/2022
Carolina has a lot to claim this season, and the main reason for that is the depth of the roster, which can be the key to success in the face of constant rotations and the damned covid protocol.
Yes, the first link of the Hurricanes in the person of Sebastian Aho (34 points before the match against Calgary), Andrey Svechnikov (24) and Teuvo Teryavainen (25) remain the team’s top scorers. But this team has significant ammunition, which are used as needed. Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Martin Necas, Seth Jarvis is an excellent number of leaders; Nino Niederreiter can be deadly for an opponent when he catches the right mood, and Tony Deangelo got the chance he used and helps the team decently on the blue line.
The match with Ogonyok once again broke the advantage of the Hurricanes’ varied roster, where 13 people scored points, over a team where there is one leader, albeit one who plays great – we are talking about Johnny Gaudreau.
Andrey Svechnikov made a significant contribution to the victory of Karolina, who started the calendar year 2022 well. On January 1, in the match against Columbus, he scored 2 (1 + 1) points, and scored a double goal against the Flames. The first goal of the Russian was scored in the middle of the second period, when the Hurricanes were leading with a score of 2: 1. An exemplary counterattack, as a result of which the forward left behind four opponents, ended with the most accurate wrist throw between the guards of the guest goalkeeper Dan Vladar.
“It was such a sweet brush from Candle”– stated the press service of the NHL in its official twitter.
Andrey’s second goal was scored not with a wrist, but no less spectacular throw. Svechnikov shot on touch from a fairly sharp angle, but perfectly hit the “top shelf” of the Calgary goal.
“What a throw!”, – admired TV men from Carolina.
“I think we drew conclusions after the unsuccessful first period, the remaining 40 minutes played just fine. The start of the match was difficult because we hadn’t played for a long time. How not to train, but still it is not easy to maintain game support if there are no matches. Great our goalkeeper Andersen, Freddie gives us a chance to win in every match.
My removal on Goodbranson? Of course, I would like to no longer collect penalty minutes, but now it turned out that my stick broke, I just had no choice – I had to hold my opponent. But I have to retire less, you are right. Burst through us? We tune in for every match. The most important thing is to continue in the same spirit, you need to try to score and control the situation, ”said Svechnikov, who has 26 points in 29 games this season.
By the way, Eric Goodbranson, despite all the opposition of the Russian in this match, came out with an excellent assist to Johnny Gaudreau, who then went one-on-one and outplayed Frederick Andersen. This goal allowed Calgary to make the score more decent and without Svechnikov’s winning puck – the decisive goal was scored by Tony Deangelo.
