Jordan Martinook, Jalen Chatfield, Seth Jarvis,
Teuvo Teravainen and Michael Bunting each scored goals and Jack
Drury and Martin Necas each added two assists for Carolina,
which moved into sole possession of second place in the
Metropolitan Division with its sixth win in the past eight
games. The Hurricanes also improved to 15-2-2 in their past 19
games against the Coyotes.
Dylan Guenther scored for the Coyotes, who are 0-7-1 in their
past eight games. Karel Vejmelka made 21 saves before departing
with 13:39 remaining in the third period. Matt Villalta, an
All-Star with Tucson in the AHL, made his NHL debut and stopped
all four shots that he faced.
Carolina needed just 16 seconds to take a 1-0 lead when
Martinook backhanded in a rebound of a Brady Skjei shot from the
left point for his eighth goal of the season. It was tied for
the fifth-fastest game-opening goal in Hurricanes team history.
Chatfield made it 2-0 at the 4:50 mark of the first when he
fired in a wraparound pass from Necas into an open right side of
the net.
Guenther cut it to 2-1 near the end of the opening period when
he rushed up the right wing and beat Kochetkov with a wrist shot
past his blocker side.
Jarvis increased the Carolina lead to 3-1 at the 6:28 mark of
the second period when he one-timed an errant outlet pass from
the left circle for his 17th goal.
Teravainen extended the lead to 4-1 with a power-play goal,
tapping in a backdoor rebound of a Drury shot inside the right
post for his 17th goal at 17:16 of the second period.
Bunting made it 5-1 early in the third period with a spinning
backhand rebound in the slot through Vejmelka's pads to finish
the scoring.
