Canes Corner | Carolina Hurricanes podcast from 99.9 The Fan

Dimitry Orlov scored twice as the Canes cooled off the red hot Capitals, 4-2, at Lenovo Center.  Martin Necas factored in on the first three Hurricanes goals, setting up Orlov for the first and third.  In between, his quick breakaway brought Carolina back even 2 1/2 minutes into the 2nd period.  Necas has 18 points (6 goals, 12 assists) in his first 10 games after his 3rd consecutive multi-point game.  He has 6 of those in his last 8 games.  But, the real story tonight was Pyotr Kochetkov's steady, mature performance in net.  19 saves was all that was needed, but he was rock solid throughout.  

Andrei Svechnikov and Jack Roslovic each had two goals and Martin Necas piled up 4 points as the Canes scorched the Bruins, 8-2, at Lenovo Center.  Carolina got an early goal from Jack Roslovic to take a 1-0 lead.  Then, after Boston drew even on the power play, the Hurricanes responded with 3 goals in a 52 second span to take a 4-1 lead into the first intermission.  From there, the Canes just poured it on.  Pyotr Kochetkov made 13 saves in the win as Carolina moves to 7-2 on the year.  Necas leads the Canes with 15 points (5g, 10a) in 9 games.  Svechnikov is second on the team with 10 points (4g, 6a).  Jordan Martinook notched his 200th career point and Dimitry Orlov played in his 800th career NHL game.  

Sebastian Aho's second overtime winner of the season gave the Canes a 4-3 win over the Canucks. Carolina closes out the road trip 5-1-0 with a 4th straight win. Martin Necas had a goal and an assist (on the Aho game-winner) and has three multi-point games in the last four. Williams Carrier had his first goal with the Hurricanes and Jack Roslovic scored his 4th of the season. Carolina will return home to play Boston on Halloween. 

The Canes continued their road trip dominance, flying past the Kraken, 4-1.  Andrei Svechnikov scored a first period power play goal -- the 5th straight game in which the Canes have connected with the man advantage -- and Frederik Andersen made 18 saves as the Canes won for the 5th time in their last 6 games.  Jack Drury, Seth Jarvis and Dimitry Orlov also tallied goals for the Hurricanes who raised their record to 5-2-0 on the season.  Andersen won for the 3rd time, and improved to a 1.48 GAA/.941 SV% in 4 starts.  

Martin Necas' 100th career goal highlighted the Canes' 4-2 win in Calgary. Carolina got a power play goal from Seth Jarvis and goals from Jack Roslovic and Eric Robinson in winning for the 4th time in their last 5 games. Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 30 shots for his 2nd win. The Canes scored a power play goal for the 4th straight game and shut down the Flames' two chances with the mad advantage. Carolina is 4-2-0 on the year and will travel to meet Seattle on Saturday night.

Sebastian Aho's goal with seven seconds left in overtime pushed the Canes to a 3-2 win in Edmonton. Shayne Gostisbehere and Martin Necas each scored in the 3rd period as Carolina rallied from a 2-0 deficit after 40 minutes. Ghost, who notched his 3rd power play goal of the season, has now scored in 4 straight games. Necas' 2nd of the year tied the game with 6 1/2 minutes to play in regulation. Oh, and Frederik Andersen was spectacular in net. 33 saves for his 18th career win over the Oilers. He's 18-2-2 lifetime against them.  

The Canes scored twice on the power play, were perfect on the penalty kill and got solid goaltending from Frederik Andersen in a convincing win over the Penguins. Sixty four seconds after Drew O'Connor gave the Pens a 1-0 lead, Carolina rookie Jackson Blake brought the Canes even with his second goal of the season. Martin Necas and Shayne Gostisbehere scored power play goals - Carolina's first two of the season - and Jack Roslovic's first goal of the season closed out the scoring. 

The Canes played their game to perfection. The rookie got his first NHL goal. And the Canes beat the Devils for their first win of the season. 

Canes conceded two power play goals to Tampa Bay and dropped the season opening game for the first time in 6 years. 

Yes, Eric Robinson had 2 goals and an assist and Freddie Andersen made 29 saves in just two periods.  But, with the preseason over, it's time to look ahead to the roster decisions and other matters facing the Canes as we head towards the start of the regular season on Friday.
