Jenner gave Washington a 1-0 lead at 9:26 of the first period. Sean Walker<\/a>\u00a0blocked Leonard\u2019s shot, but the Capitals forward got his own rebound and passed to Jenner, who beat Kochetkov with a short-side wrist shot.<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes tied it 1-1 at 3:58 of the second period. Thompson fended off two shots by William Carrier<\/a>, but Svechnikov poked the puck in the net from under Thompson\u2019s left pad. All six of the 26-year-old forward’s goals this season have come in the past five games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been great. This is kind of the player we all know he is capable of (being),\u201d Brind\u2019Amour said. \u201cWe\u2019re seeing it for a long stretch here to start the year. We\u2019ve needed it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Holl put the Capitals ahead 2-1 at 6:39 when he scored through a screen from the top of the right face-off circle. It was the veteran defenseman’s Washington debut after he was recalled from Hershey of the American Hockey League on Monday.<\/p>\n

Carolina tied it 2-2 at 18:49 when Robinson\u2019s shot deflected off the stick of Washington defenseman Martin Fehervary<\/a> and into the net. Jackson Blake<\/a>\u00a0started the play with a pass through the neutral zone for his team-best seventh assist.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels like these last couple games for sure the boys have been clicking,\u201d Blake said. \u201cIt feels like how we were playing in the (Stanley Cup) playoffs a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Hurricanes outshot the Capitals 27-12 in the second and third period.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey started tilting the ice on us in the latter half of the second period, and it kind of continued in the third period,\u201d Washington defenseman Jakob Chychrun<\/a> said. \u201cWe just couldn\u2019t find our way back. But I thought we fought hard.\u201d<\/p>\n

NOTES: Jenner has a goal in each of the past three games. \u2026 Hurricanes forward Taylor Hall<\/a>\u00a0left the game in the second period with an upper-body injury and did not return. Brind\u2019Amour said it \u201cdoesn\u2019t look good.\u201d The Hurricanes played a second straight game without captain Jordan Staal<\/a>, who will miss 1-2 months with a torn calf muscle. \u2026 Aho has 13 points (six goals, seven assists) in a seven-game point streak. \u2026 Leonard has five points (one goal, four assists) in a four-game point streak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jenner gave Washington a 1-0 lead at 9:26 of the first period.
