RALEIGH, N.C.—The Carolina Hurricanes have activated forward Andrei Svechnikov from injured reserve.

The team announced the move Friday, hours before facing the San Jose Sharks at home. Svechnikov suffered a serious knee injury last season, sidelining him for the last part of the regular season and the team’s push to the Eastern Conference Final in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
