Sebastian Aho and Jalen Chatfield each registered a goal and an assist as the Carolina Hurricanes stayed hot with a 4-1 road victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Wednesday.
The Hurricanes scored three times in the first seven minutes of the third period to win for the 12th time in 14 games. Carolina has outscored its opponents 12-2 in winning its past three contests.
Ryan Poehling scored the lone goal for Philadelphia, which has lost two in a row after a 4-0-1 stretch. Ivan Fedotov made 33 saves for the Flyers, while Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 18 shots for the Hurricanes.
The score was tied 1-1 just over a minute into the third period when Aho stole the puck at the blue line, skated to some open ice at the high slot and took a shot that trickled through Fedotov and into the net.
Less than a minute later, Dmitry Orlov unleashed a blast from the blue line that Jordan Staal deflected in for his third goal of the season.
Another steal by Aho set up the Hurricanes' third goal. He swiped the puck at center ice, skated into the offensive zone and made a nice setup in front of the net to Jack Roslovic, who shifted the puck from his backhand to his forehand before depositing his 10th of the season.
Philadelphia did not threaten much down the stretch.
The Hurricanes struck first, just 30 seconds into the contest, when Chatfield's rising flip from the right point gave Carolina a 1-0 lead.
The score remained 1-0 until Poehling tied it up 2:13 into the second period. The Hurricanes turned it over at the Philadelphia blue line and, on the ensuing rush, Poehling beat Kochetkov with a long wrist shot from just inside the blue line.
Fedotov made several big stops during the second period to keep the score tied before the Hurricanes dominated in the final session.
