Canes stymied by Vejmelka, lose 4-1 in Utah

Karel Vejmelka made 49 saves as the Canes lost to the Utah Hockey Club, 4-1. Not only did the Hurricanes pump 50 shots at the Utah goaltender, but they also wasted 11 minutes of 3rd period power play time. Pyotr Kochetkov takes the loss allowing 3 of the 4 Club goals. It was his first "L" in 3 weeks having won his last 7 starts. Worrying is that it appeared he might have injured himself on the goal that gave Utah the lead for good in the 3rd period. Martin Necas scored his 9th goal of the season and extended his point streak to 11 games.

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.

Canes' streak ends at 8 with 6-4 loss in Colorado

Carolina gave up 5 goals in the 2nd period and went on to lose to the Avalanche 6-4 in Denver. The Canes winning streak ends at 8 straight. The Hurricanes had a 2-0 lead on the strength of goals from Jack Drury and Jordan Martinook, but Cale Makar's second period shorthanded goal ignited a 5-goal outburst. It was the first shorthanded goal the Canes have allowed this year. 9 minutes and 34 seconds later, Mikko Rantanen scored the Avs' 5th of the period and Carolina never regained the lead. Martinook scored his second of the game early in the 3rd to get the Canes within a goal, but that was it for their scoring on the night. Martin Necas scored a 2nd period power play goal to extend his streak to 9 straight with at least 1 point. Necas has 20 points in that stretch and has 23 points (8g, 15a) in 13 games this season. Spencer Martin made 24 saves in his first start for the Hurricanes this year.

Canes sweep home stand with 5-1 win over the Penguins

Jack Roslovic's brace pushed the Canes past the Penguins, 5-1. Carolina has now won 8 straight games and improves to 10-2 on the season. He has 9 goals through 12 games. Last year, Roslovic had 9 in 59 games split between Columbus and the NY Rangers. Jordan Martinook, Eric Robinson and Jaccob Salvin also scored, with the first two doing so for a second straight game. Jalen Chatfield had 3 assists, the first time in his career he enjoyed a 3-point night. But, the real story tonight was Pyotr Kochetkov and his 36 save performance. He was the best player for Carolina on a night when the Canes allowed a lot of shots and some high quality scoring chances to the Penguins.

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.
