RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Seth Jarvis had a goal and two assists, and the Carolina Hurricanes stretched their points streak to seven games by beating the Anaheim Ducks 6-3 on Thursday night despite losing their goalie in the second period.
Jordan Martinook and Stefan Noesen each had a goal and an assist, while Brady Skjei, Andrei Svechnikov and Jack Drury also scored. Teuvo Teravainen assisted on two goals.
With the score 3-all, the Hurricanes made a goalie change with 6:04 left in the second period when Pyotr Kochetkov exited after he was bowled over by Isac Lundestrom during a pileup at the net. Just 34 seconds later, Noesen gave Carolina the lead and Drury’s power-play goal made it 5-3.
Kotchetkov posted 10 saves on 13 shots. Antti Raanta made three saves.
Lundestrom, Ryan Strome and Frank Vatrano scored for the Ducks, who began a five-game road trip two nights earlier by winning at Nashville. John Gibson made 21 saves on 26 shots through two periods before Lukas Dostal came in and stopped eight shots.
The Hurricanes had the game’s first 12 shots on goal, but they didn’t score until their 13th attempt. Skjei scored his seventh of the season.
Carolina had goals on back-to-back shots within 15 seconds. Svechnikov fired in his 10th goal, his eighth in the last seven games.
Lundstrom’s first goal came in his fifth game of the season just 25 seconds into the second period.
Carolina responded 1:28 later when Martinook, playing in his 600th NHL game, cut through the slot and knocked in a pass from Jarvis. It was Martinook’s third goal of the season and second in the past four games.
Strome and Vatrano scored in a 45-second span in the second period to pull the Ducks even at 3-3.
Before the game, the Ducks announced that center Trevor Zegras (broken left ankle) and defenseman Pavel Mintyukov (separated shoulder) could both miss close to two months after suffering injuries Tuesday night at Nashville.
