Svechnikov did some light stick-handling this morning but will miss Game 4 as he remains in concussion-protocol after being knocked out by Alex Ovechkin in Game 3. Saku Maenalanen will replace Svechnikov in the lineup on Thursday.

Svechnikov was taken to hospital for testing after being knocked out by Alex Ovechkin in a fight in Game 3. Svechnikov is in concussion protocol and it is highly unlikely that he will be available for Game 4 vs. the Capitals. Saku Maenalanen will likely replace Svechnikov in the lineup on Wednesday.

Svechnikov started his season with a hand injury that cost him 17 games, but he still went on to finish second in Barrie Colts’ scoring with 40 goals and 32 assists (72 points) in 44 games. Svechnikov could step into the NHL next season and plays a powerful offensive game.
