“I really doubt it,” said head coach Rod Brind’Amour on Sunday of the chances of Svechnikov returning to the series. The pilot said he had no further information other than that the attacker was undergoing a magnetic resonance imaging test.

“It was really not a pretty sight. He really fell badly. No, it really didn’t look good, ”Brind’Amour said after the meeting.

Under the NHL season recovery plan, a team cannot disclose a player’s injury or illness.

Svechnikov had two shots and five hits in 15:58 in that game.

The Bruins lead the series 2-1. Game 4 is Monday (8 p.m. ET; TVAS, CBC, SN, NBCSN, FS-CR, NESN).

Asked how Carolina would bounce back in Game 4, Brind’Amour said it was difficult for him to think about what was to come due to what happened to Svechnikov.

“Right now, it’s heavy, because we just saw one of our young people get injured, and the injury seems important,” he said. That’s all that crosses my mind. I am angry for him. That’s all. I don’t know what else to say on any other topic, to be honest. “

Svechnikov has four goals and three assists in six games during the current playoffs. He had amassed five points in the series against the New York Rangers, swept in three games by Carolina. He also scored a goal and an assist in the second game of the series against Boston, a 3-2 victory for the Hurricanes.
