On Tuesday night, Andrei Svechnikov scored two goals, including the winner with 6:04 left in the third period, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 4-2 victory over the Washington Capitals. Eric Robinson and Mark Jankowski also contributed goals for the Hurricanes, who have now won six consecutive games. Goalie Pyotr Kochetkov made 20 saves and improved his record to 4-0-0 this season. The game was notable as it marked the last scheduled visit of Alex Ovechkin, Capitals' captain and star player, to Raleigh before his retirement after this season. Svechnikov's performance was particularly significant given that he was the No. 1 pick in the 2004 NHL draft held in Raleigh and has scored 59 career points in 49 regular-season games at the Lenovo Center, more than any other venue outside of Capital One Arena in Washington.
