Andrei Svechnikov<\/a> had two goals and an assist, Gostisbehere had three assists, and Aho added an assist for the Hurricanes (12-5-0), who have won five of their past six. Pyotr Kochetkov<\/a> made 14 saves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were playing a really good game,\u201d Carolina coach Rod Brind\u2019Amour said. \u201cWe gave up a couple chances; it\u2019s not like they had to do much to get them. That\u2019s the tough part. The rest of the game, it felt like we were in their end. You don\u2019t always get what you deserve in this game, but we got what we deserved with the two points.\u201d <\/p>\n

Carolina forward Seth Jarvis<\/a> left at 5:09 of the first period after being hit in the face by Svechnikov\u2019s stick behind the Vancouver net, and Hurricanes forward Jesperi Kotkaniemi<\/a> left with a twisted ankle after the second period. Brind\u2019Amour said he does not expect Jarvis to be out long but was unsure about Kotkaniemi\u2019s availability.<\/p>\n

Center Elias Pettersson<\/a> had a goal and an assist for the Canucks (8-9-2), who are 0-1-2 in their past three. Kevin Lankinen<\/a> made 34 saves.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played against a really good hockey team,\u201d Vancouver coach Adam Foote said. \u201cThey\u2019re fast, they forecheck really hard. We\u2019re going to learn a lot from a game like that. It\u2019s the closest you\u2019ll see to a playoff game that we\u2019ve had so far.\u201d<\/p>\n

Max Sasson<\/a> gave Vancouver a 1-0 lead at 2:45 of the first. After Gostisbehere collided with Canucks forward Mackenzie MacEachern<\/a>, the puck came loose to Sasson near the blue line, and he moved into the zone before scoring through the five-hole from the top of the slot.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a shot I work on a lot. I like to go five-hole,\u201d Sasson said. \u201cI thought when we advanced pucks, we got a lot of odd-man rushes. They\u2019re super aggressive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Carolina tied it 1-1 at 4:20. Jarvis knocked down Tyler Myers<\/a>\u2019 clearing attempt and passed to Aho, who set up Svechnikov for a one-timer in the right circle.<\/p>\n

Svechnikov made it a 2-1 lead on the power play at 5:14. Nikolaj Ehlers<\/a> won a face-off in the left circle back to Gostisbehere, who passed to Svechnikov for a one-timer from the right circle to the short side.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always try to work on my slap shot,\u201d Svechnikov said. \u201cI changed my stick a couple weeks ago, so that\u2019s why [a few goals] are going in.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andrei Svechnikov had two goals and an assist, Gostisbehere had three assists, and Aho added an assist for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":284162,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[49,48,448,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-284161","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nhl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=284161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/284161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/284162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=284161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=284161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=284161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
