Carolina Hurricanes fans found a way to honor Andrei Svechnikov’s playoff hat trick in Game 4 on the road — by throwing hats onto his front lawn in Raleigh.

Andrei Svechnikov spent the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs looking like the player the Carolina Hurricanes desperately need him to be.

Andrei Svechnikov's hat trick helped the Carolina Hurricanes overcome the loss of goalie Frederik Andersen to beat the New Jersey Devils 5-2 in Newark, N.J., on Sunday and take a commanding 3-1 lead in the Eastern Conference quarterfinals series.
