John makes a good point that Svechnikov scored 20 goals as a rookie in 2018-19, but how many of those goals were as memorable as this one? It's one thing to do that in practice, which Svechnikov has done numerous times, but another to do it in a game when the stakes are high. The forward went behind the net, got the puck on his stick, and tucked it past Flames goalie David Rittich to tie the game 1-1 in the third period of an eventual 2-1 Hurricanes win at PNC Arena. "It was just a matter of time before it was going to happen," Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "Obviously it was a huge moment when we needed it." Svechnikov had made no secret about his desire to pull off the move in a game, and when he did so, it instantly became one of the best moments of the season. "He was trying to teach me, and I had no chance," Hurricanes defenseman Dougie Hamilton said. "You need time and space, and it was the perfect opportunity for him. It was awesome."
