Patrick Kane scored a pair of goals for Chicago. Jonathan Toews contributed his team-leading fifth goal. Alex DeBrincat, John Hayden and Brandon Manning also scored, and Duncan Keith and rookie Henri Jokiharju tallied three assists apiece.

Hurricanes 8, Rangers 5

Rookie Andrei Svechnikov's first career goal broke a third-period tie, and Warren Foegele scored twice for Carolina in a victory over New York at Raleigh, N.C. It was the first home victory for first-year coach Rod Brind'Amour as his team overcame a horrid start to send the Rangers to a 0-3-0 record.

Jordan Martinook, Jordan Staal, Micheal Ferland, Lucas Wallmark and Teuvo Teravainen had the other Carolina goals. Justin Williams notched three assists for the Hurricanes, marking the captain's first points of the season.
