Canes deal Vegas 5-2 defeat

The Canes jumped out to a 4-0 lead through two periods and coasted home to a 5-2 win over Vegas. Carolina bounces back from Saturday's loss which ended their 8-game winning streak. Pyotr Kochetkov made 31 saves and five different skaters scored goals as the Hurricanes moved to 11-3-0 on the season, back on top of the Metropolitan Division with 22 points in 14 games. Eric Robinson, Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Jordan Staal, Tyson Jost and Jordan Martinook all scored. For Martinook, it was his 4th straight game with a goal and his 5th in that streak. Jost scored in his Hurricanes debut. Staal's came while shorthanded just 3 1/2 minutes into the second period. As for Robinson's and Kotkaniemi's, they were in part created by Martin Necas - who also extended his point streak to 10 in a row (7g, 14a) - and as a line, they have been excellent. Since uniting 10 games ago, KK and Robinson each have 7 points while Martinook has 7 goals and 14 assists.
