Ak Bars graduate Svechnikov won the Stanley Cup with Carolina.

      Today, "Carolina" confidently defeated "Vegas" in the sixth match of the Stanley Cup Final (3:0) and won the series, becoming the trophy holder. Early in the game, the team, featuring "Ak Bars" graduate Andrei Svechnikov, took the lead. Tyler Hall opened the scoring in the fourth minute. Another goal in the second period was scored by Jason Blake, and Nikolai Ehlers sealed the victory with a goal into an empty net. Svechnikov has 11 points (6+5) in 18 playoff games. He scored a double in the fifth game. Until 2016, the native of Barnaul was raised in the Kazan club's system, and in 2018 he moved to "Carolina." This season, he set a record for points in the regular season — 70 (31+39) in 79 games. This is Carolina's second title in history. The first Stanley Cup was won in 2006 when they defeated "Edmonton" in a seven-game series. Besides Svechnikov, the team also includes Russians Alexander Nikishin and Pyotr Kochetkov. Another "Ak Bars" graduate, Amir Miftakhov, is in Carolina's farm club — "Chicago."
