Quick Whistles: Hurricanes’ Third Line, Bouncing Back, Red Jerseys

Andrei Svechnikov scored a hat trick for the Carolina Hurricanes against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday. Carolina's third line produced a season-high six goals and 22 high-danger shot attempts at five-on-five. The line's six five on five goals this season are tied for tenth-most among all NHL forward combinations this year. Jordan Martinook, Joran Staal and Jesper Fast have an on-ice high danger shots-for rate north of 60%. They rank one slot ahead of Sidney Crosby's line. The team has five regular forwards who have a high high risk shot-percentage.
