Aho scores in OT to lift Hurricanes to 4-3 win over Canucks

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Sebastian Aho scored 4:29 into overtime to give the Carolina Hurricanes a 4-3 win over the Vancouver Canucks on Friday night.

Andrei Svechnikov had two goals and an assist, and Taylor Hall also scored for the Hurricanes, who have won six of their last eight games. Shayne Gostisbehere had three assists and Pyotr Kochetkov made 14 saves to help Carolina improve to 4-0 in overtime.

Conor Garland, Max Sasson, Elias Pettersson scored for Vancouver, which has lost three straight. Kevin Lankinen stopped 34 shots.

Hall tied it 3-3 at 6:26 of the third period. Gostisbehere pulled Lankinen out of the crease and then fed Hall for an easy finish.

Garland gave the Canucks a 3-2 lead with a power-play goal at 3:13 of the second period, finishing a crossing pass from Brock Boeser.

The Canucks scored two goals in the first period on just four shots. The Hurricanes played a helping role in both goals.

Sasson skated in alone and beat Kochetkov at 2:45 of the first after Gostisbehere and Mackenzie MacEachern collided at the Carolina blue line.

Pettersson was able to convert a turnover by Sean Walker into a short-handed goal at 9:14 to tie it 2-2.

In between, Svechnikov scored twice 54 seconds apart to give Carolina a 2-1 lead. First, he tied it 1-1 at 4:20 and then put the Hurricanes ahead with a power-play goal at 5:14.

Svechnikov also inadvertently caught teammate Seth Jarvis, the Hurricanes' leading scorer, in the face with his stick in a scrum behind the Vancouver goal. Jarvis fell to the ice and was clearly in pain. He held a towel to his face as he was helped off the ice, about 5 minutes into the game. He did not return.

Canucks: Visit Tampa Bay on Sunday.

Hurricanes: Host Edmonton on Saturday.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Brandt Clarke scored twice to help Los Angeles break out of an offensive funk, Darcy Kuemper made 23 saves and the Kings beat the Chicago Blackhawks 6-0 on Saturday night to split a two-game set.

Warren Foegele, Andrei Kuzmenko, Mikey Anderson and Alex Turcotte also scored after the Kings had been held to two goals or fewer in seven of their past nine games. The six goals are their most in regulation this season and they won by more than one goal for the first time since a 5-1 victory at Montreal on Nov. 11.

Spencer Knight made 26 saves for the Blackhawks. Chicago forward Teuvo Teravainen did not play after he was struck in the face by a puck in the final minute of a 2-1 victory over the Kings on Thursday night.

Goals of any sort had been hard to come by for the Kings over the past three weeks, but Foegele’s one-timer early in the second period led to an offensive eruption in the middle 20 minutes.

Kuzmenko then got Los Angeles’ first power-play goal in five games and only its third in the past 12 outings. They are 3-for-36 (8.3%) in that span.

Clarke finished off the breakthrough period by scoring through the screen of Corey Perry, who gave Knight no vantage point to see the wrist shot from the high slot.

Clarke got his second of the night early in the third period, followed by Anderson and Turcotte each netting their second goals of the season.

Blackhawks: At Anaheim on Sunday night.

Kings: At Utah on Monday night.
