Carolina beat Vancouver 6-3, extending the Canucks’ winless streak to eight games. Logan Stankoven and Nikolaj Ehlers each scored twice and added an assist as the Hurricanes pulled away in the third period.

By the Numbers
  • Final score: Hurricanes 6, Canucks 3.
  • Vancouver’s record: 2-8-1; its skid is 0-7-2 over eight games.
  • Carolina’s record: 8-2-1; it has won 6 straight against Vancouver.
Yes, But

Vancouver rallied twice to tie the game and killed three penalties in the second period plus a third-period double minor. But Carolina scored three times in the final period, and the Canucks entered the night with the NHL’s worst penalty kill.

What’s Next

Vancouver hosts Detroit on Thursday, while Carolina visits Edmonton.

Bottom Line

The Canucks showed they can answer setbacks, but another late collapse extended a skid that is becoming increasingly difficult to stop.
