Canes pop Caps, 4-2.

Dimitry Orlov scored twice as the Canes cooled off the red hot Capitals, 4-2, at Lenovo Center.  Martin Necas factored in on the first three Hurricanes goals, setting up Orlov for the first and third.  In between, his quick breakaway brought Carolina back even 2 1/2 minutes into the 2nd period.  Necas has 18 points (6 goals, 12 assists) in his first 10 games after his 3rd consecutive multi-point game.  He has 6 of those in his last 8 games.  But, the real story tonight was Pyotr Kochetkov's steady, mature performance in net.  19 saves was all that was needed, but he was rock solid throughout.
