The result gave first-year Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour a win in
his first game at the helm of the Hurricanes against Nashville coach
Peter Laviolette, who was behind the Hurricanes' bench when
Brind'Amour was captain of the 2006 Stanley Cup championship team.
Saku Maenalanen, Justin Williams and Lucas Wallmark also scored for
the Hurricanes, who've won seven of their last eight games.
Filip Forsberg scored twice and Colton Sissons had a goal for
Nashville. Roman Josi had two assists.

In his 800th career game, Giordano moved ahead of Jim Peplinski on

22 saves for the Western Conference-leading Flames, who are riding a
five-game winning streak and snapped Arizona's three-game winning
streak.
Matthew Tkachuk scored twice and Johnny Gaudreau and Sean Monahan
both netted one goal and one assist for the Flames, while Jordan
Osterle scored Arizona's only goal. Coyotes goalie Adin Hill, who
grew up in Calgary, made 19 saves.
Blue Jackets 7, Rangers 5
Cam Atkinson scored the tiebreaking goal with six minutes left in
the second period, Nick Foligno scored twice and Columbus held on
against visiting New York.
Atkinson snapped a 2-2 tie when he scored his 26th goal on a
deflection of defenseman Zach Werenski's shot from the right point.
It was one of three goals in the second period for the Blue Jackets,
who improved to 11-3-1 in their last 15 games and 8-3-1 in their
last 12 games against the Rangers.
Mats Zuccarello scored twice for the Rangers, who lost for the sixth
time in seven games.
Canucks 5, Panthers 1
Ben Hutton's goal at 7:20 of the third period sparked Vancouver over
visiting Florida.
Hutton gave the Canucks a 2-1 lead as he one-timed Troy Stecher's
long rebound past Florida goaltender Roberto Luongo. The Canucks
then added three more goals en route to their first win in four
games. Loui Eriksson led the Canucks with a goal and two assists.
The Panthers, who got their goal from Frank Vatrano, bore their
sixth straight loss.
