The Carolina Hurricanes announced some tough news tonight, as one of their top players has been listed as �'out indefinitely'' after he suffered a knee injury on Saturday.

As per the Hurricanes PR:

'' Don Waddell, President and General Manager of the National Hockey League's Carolina Hurricanes, today announced that forward Andrei Svechnikov will be out indefinitely after suffering a right knee injury on Saturday night against the Vegas Golden Knights in Raleigh.''

Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman shared more news regarding Svechnikov's injury:

�'Hearing Carolina is waiting for a second opinion on Andrei Svechnikov's injury. There's concern it's a torn ACL, which could end his season � but the player and the Hurricanes are, understandably, waiting until all options exhausted. Hoping for the best.''

Svechnikov has been an impact player since breaking into the league at 18-years-old in the 2018-19 season. In 347 career games, the winger has registered 112 goals and 154 assists.

This season, the 22-year-old was on a career-high pace with 55 points in 64 games with the Hurricanes.

This is obviously terrible news for a Carolina team that will be looking to make a deep run in the 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs.
