| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Blocks a point shot | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | Video (With Replay) | 2/15/2018 |

| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Well-placed pass finds Denisenko in the high slot for a one-timer goal. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | Video (With Replay) | 2/15/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | The number of tools that he has and uses appropriately to keep puck possession is astounding at times. He'll use his size, reach, stick lifts, positioning, quickness, strength, all alternating with intelligent choices and quick hands and awareness are well matched. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | Video (With Replay) | 2/15/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Possession machine: weaves through traffic in the neutral zone, gains the zone, makes a power move to the net, wards off the defender with his body, changes direction, gets a good wraparound chance. At least four opponents tried to get the puck from him, and not one of them was close. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | Video (With Replay) | 2/15/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Showing off his passing skills on that sequence. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | Video (With Replay) | 2/15/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Up 6-2, five minutes left in the 3rd and he's out on the penalty kill. Intercepts a pass in the offensive zone, then dekes, waits, and that’s a shorthanded goal. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | Video (With Replay) | 2/15/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Summary | Not a lot more to say about Svechnikov. Big, high iq, excellent hands and tremendous puck possession player. I liked that he was not forcing passes in this game, and instead playing inside the flow of the game. Svechnikov is a natural talent who would be first overall in the 2018 draft if not for the brilliance that is Dahlin. | Brian Fogarty | Czech Republic vs Russia (5 Nations 2018) | Video (With Replay) | 2/15/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Amazing backhand pass that found an open man, but was too good and the teammate skated past the puck. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | Video (With Replay) | 2/2/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Coming off the leftwing side, protects the puck by dragging it off his left hip, changes angle, puts a hard wrist shot on goal, saved but the goalie had no idea where the puck was when it hit him. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | Video (With Replay) | 2/2/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Ridiculous shift in which at least four opposing players had cracks at him down low but couldn't stop him at all, gets the shot off, rebound gets put away. Filthy, filthy assist. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | Video (With Replay) | 2/2/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | His skating is so smooth and effortless, no matter what situation. Burst, speed, changes, anything. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | Video (With Replay) | 2/2/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Tries a lacrosse pullup from behind the net, but the goalie hugged the post and prevented the goal. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | Video (With Replay) | 2/2/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | In the corner, fakes the defender and turns him around, then steps to the front of the net and plants it. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | Video (With Replay) | 2/2/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Phenomenal eye-hand coordination | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | Video (With Replay) | 2/2/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Again showing a tendency to force passes. It's an aspect of his game that is problematic. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | Video (With Replay) | 2/2/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Summary | Simply no denying that Svechnikov is extremely talented, with size and tremendous work ethic at both ends of the ice. Drives the net, makes strong and dexterous plays that not many players can make. A couple of coachable flaws like forcing passes when unnecessary, but the creativity, skillset and forceful play are off the charts. Elite talent in a big frame. | Brian Fogarty | Barrie vs London (OHL) | Video (With Replay) | 2/2/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Throws a shoulder in the corner on the game's first shift | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | Video (With Replay) | 1/25/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Power move to the corner, muscles the defender away with one arm, maintains balance and keeps possession. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | Video (With Replay) | 1/25/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Forcing passes like he's trying way too hard instead of just feeling the play. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | Video (With Replay) | 1/25/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Love his 200-foot play. He works just as hard on defense as he does in the offensive zone, and he's a turnover threat in the neutral zone. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | Video (With Replay) | 1/25/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Great sequence, receives an awkward pass with soft hands and stick adjustment, then burns down the right wing shorthanded, pulls up and wrists a dangerous shot. | Brian Fogarty | CHL Top Prospects Game | Video (With Replay) | 1/25/2018 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Outhustling the opposition in the offensive zone, using his stick and his feet to gain position | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/29/2017 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Great effort on the backcheck. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/29/2017 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Fantastic shift battling in front of the net with two players on him, keeps his feet moving, works free to get the puck, goes behind the net, finds Kostin for an easy goal. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/29/2017 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Generates so much effortless power from his skates. Does he realize he's on ice? | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/29/2017 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Constantly pushing play, highly active shift yet again. | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/29/2017 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Summary | Simply an excellent player who takes advantage of every small opportunity presented to him on the ice. In a tournament where his ice time was limited by coaching who decided to play older players more often and having just recently returned to the ice after missing 6 weeks or so with a broken hand, Svechnikov still managed a point-per-game production and looked consistently threatening on every shift. Size, quickness, strength and lethal offensive skills. (General summary of all tournament viewings). | Brian Fogarty | Belarus vs Russia (WJC 2018) | Stream | 12/29/2017 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Ridiculously good on his feet | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | Video (With Replay) | 4/1/2017 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Generates speed just from his edges. Strong on his skates, superbly balanced. Excellent skater. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | Video (With Replay) | 4/1/2017 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Just destroyed Inamoto with a spin move off the half boards. I'm gasping every time he's on the ice. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | Video (With Replay) | 4/1/2017 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Accurate with his one-timer, sets up on the right half-wall with his lefty shot | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | Video (With Replay) | 4/1/2017 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Leads a 2-on-1, and when his shot goes just wide and the opponents recover the puck, he is the first person back in the defensive zone. In a game with a lot of top 2017 prospects, Svechnikov is the most dangerous and best player on the ice, period. | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | Video (With Replay) | 4/1/2017 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Would be the top pick in 2017 if he was a year older | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | Video (With Replay) | 4/1/2017 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Gets a breakaway in OT, with the speedy Farrance right on his heels. Doesn't score, but outskating Farrance with the puck is a testament to Svechnikov's abilities | Brian Fogarty | USNTDP vs Muskegon (USHL) | Video (With Replay) | 4/1/2017 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Svechnikov has wheels. Quick feet, excellent edge work | Zachary DeVine | USA vs Russia (WJAC 2016) | Stream | 12/15/2016 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Svechnikov hounding the puck carrier but draws a slashing penalty. Like the effort on the play. Very tough on the puck in the first period. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs Russia (WJAC 2016) | Stream | 12/15/2016 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Svechnikov takes a centering pass and off the rush gets it up on the USA goalie. Quick shot that got up with little space. Scored both goals for Russia in the loss. Heck of showing for the 2000-born winger. | Zachary DeVine | USA vs Russia (WJAC 2016) | Stream | 12/15/2016 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Dirty area goal for Svechnikov as he gets an initial shot on goal, circles back to drive the net and gets a stick on it. Nose for the net on that play. | Zachary DeVine | Russia vs Switzerland (WJAC 2016) | Stream | 12/13/2016 |
| Andrei Svechnikov | Note | Liking Svechnikov’s compete level overall. Working hard to retrieve pucks, could use some more physical presence on the boards, but at least he is in there going for the play. | Zachary DeVine | Russia vs Switzerland (WJAC 2016) | Stream | 12/3/2016 |
