Andrei Svechnikov is on the mend.
The young Carolina Hurricanes forward returned to the lineup Wednesday for Game 3 against the New York Islanders.
Svechnikov was injured in a fight with Washington Capitals forward Alex Ovechkin in Game 3 of the Hurricanes' first-round series and hadn't played since.
The 19-year-old had been in concussion protocol since leaving that contest on April 15.
