Seth Jarvis had a goal and an assist as the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the host Seattle Kraken 4-1 Saturday night.
Andrei Svechnikov, Jack Drury and Dmitry Orlov also scored for the Hurricanes, who are 4-1-0 on their six-game trip that wraps up Monday in Vancouver. Goaltender Frederik Andersen made 18 saves.
Jared McCann scored the lone goal for Seattle, which went 2-2-1 on its five-game homestand after winning its first two. Joey Daccord stopped 35 of 38 shots.
Trailing 2-0 after two periods, the Kraken finally broke through as McCann scored on a breakaway at 10:21 of the third period after taking a pass from Matty Beniers.
Andersen stopped Seattle’s Eeli Tolvanen, who skated down the right wing and cut toward the net, with 8:45 remaining to maintain the one-goal lead.
Jarvis lifted a backhander over Daccord on a breakaway at 15:38 of the third to make it 3-1. Orlov clinched the victory with an empty-netter at 18:24.
The Hurricanes opened the scoring at 4:25 of the first period on the power play. Svechnikov took a cross-slot pass from Martin Necas and lifted the puck over a sprawling Daccord from the bottom of the left faceoff circle. The goal came after Seattle defenseman Brandon Montour was whistled for roughing against Jordan Martinook.
Drury scored at 16:49 of the second period on two-on-one rush following a scramble in front of the Carolina net. Brent Burns’ stretch pass sent rookie Jackson Blake down the right wing and he sent a pass to Drury at the far post for a tap-in.
Andersen stopped a short-handed breakaway by Chandler Stephenson with five seconds remaining in the second period.
Seattle coach Dan Bylsma shuffled all of his lines except for the first one — consisting of McCann, Beniers and Jordan Eberle — after a 4-3 overtime loss to Winnipeg on Thursday.
