Kotkaniemi got his first goal of the season after being a healthy scratch for the previous two games by going backhand on a breakaway at 3:43 of the second period to put Carolina up 3-0.<\/p>\n
Moore cut the lead to 3-1 at 4:35 with a slap shot from the edge of the left face-off circle that fluttered through traffic.<\/p>\n
Moore believed he scored a second goal at 5:25, but it was waived off for goaltender interference as Warren Foegele<\/a> impaired Bussi at the top of the crease.<\/p>\n Kuzmenko got the Kings within 3-2 on the power play at 16:04, lifting in a pass from Quinton Byfield<\/a> over Bussi’s right pad at the net front.<\/p>\n Fiala tied it 3-3 on a wrist shot from the right circle off Kempe\u2019s drop pass at 11:02 of the third period.<\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s something I\u2019ve been working on, everybody\u2019s been working on, that we kind of want to pick guys and open up space for other people, so that\u2019s something I tried to do,\u201d Kempe said. \u201cKevin\u2019s a great shooter, so, yeah, it was an important goal.\u201d<\/p>\n Hurricanes defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere<\/a> left the game after he sustained a lower-body injury in the first period. Carolina is already without defenseman Jaccob Slavin<\/a>, who missed his third straight game because of a lower-body injury.<\/p>\n “He just said he tweaked something, and this is not good news, right, when we’re already down \u2018Slavo,\u2019\u201d Brind\u2019Amour said.<\/p>\n NOTES: The Hurricanes recorded a season-opening winning streak of five or more games for the third time in franchise history (9-0-0 in 2021-22 and 5-0-0 in 2019-20). … Jordan (301) and Eric Staal<\/a> (455) are the fourth pair of brothers to each score at least 300 NHL goals, joining Maurice (544) and Henri Richard<\/a> (358), Bobby (560) and Dennis Hull (303), and Brent (363) and Brian Sutter (303). \u2026 Aho has seven points (one goal, six assist) on a five-game point streak. … Jarvis became the first player in NHL history with four winners through his team\u2019s first five games in a season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kotkaniemi got his first goal of the season after being a healthy scratch for the previous two games…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":224816,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-224815","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224815","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=224815"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224815\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/224816"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=224815"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=224815"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=224815"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
