Vincent Trocheck had a goal and an assist and another former
Rangers player, Jesper Fast, also scored, as did rookie Seth
Jarvis and Nino Niederreiter. The Hurricanes improved to 12-2-1
in their last 15 games.
Andrei Svechnikov notched two assists and Frederik Anderson made
20 saves for Carolina.
New York's Mika Zibanejad recorded a power-play goal and an
assist to extend his point streak to seven games (four goals,
five assists). Chris Kreider scored and set up a goal, and
fourth-liner Greg McKegg also tallied for the Rangers, who saw
their three-game winning streak come to a halt.
DeAngelo's shot from the point was deflected home by Trocheck to
open the scoring with 6:47 remaining in the first period.
Trocheck's goal was his ninth of the season and second in his
last three games.
Carolina doubled the advantage just over four minutes later
after Rangers defenseman Adam Fox was unable to control a loose
puck in the neutral zone.
Aho, who was playing in his 400th career NHL game, settled the
puck and skated in on a 2-on-1 rush before setting up Jarvis at
the back door for an easy conversion. Jarvis' goal was eighth of
the season and second in as many games.
DeAngelo set up a one-timer by Fast, who wired a shot from the
point past a screened Alexandar Georgiev (29 saves) to give the
Hurricanes a 3-0 lead at 3:33 of the second period.
Zibanejad's one-timer from inside the left circle put New York
on the scoreboard just over three minutes later, before Carolina
countered with a quick flourish.
Aho's determined effort from in close at 14:46 of the second
period resulted in his team-leading 17th goal of the season and
second in his last three games. Niederreiter's easy tap-in just
under five minutes later extended the Hurricanes' advantage to
5-1.
Kreider scored his team-leading 26th goal and McKegg added his
first of the season 74 seconds later early in the third period
to halve the deficit.
However, DeAngelo sealed the win by scoring a power-play goal
with 2:33 remaining.
