Jarvis’ two goals give Hurricanes victory

Former Penguin Guentzel has goal, two assists in win

Seth Jarvis scored twice and the Carolina Hurricanes raced to a three-goal lead in the first period on the way to a 4-1 win against the host New York Islanders on Tuesday night.

Trade-deadline acquisition and former Penguins winger Jake Guentzel had a threepoint night with a goal and two assists for Carolina. Pyotr Kochetkov made 30 saves as the Hurricanes won their fourth in a row and tied a franchise record with their sixth consecutive road win. Martini Necas also scored and Brady Skjei added two assists.

“There are a lot of high-end players on this team, just trying to help the team out as much as I can,” Guentzel said. “As a line, lately we’ve had a little run here and it’s been fun. Hopefully, it kind of keeps going and will see what happens.”

Kyle Palmieri scored for New York. Ilya Sorokin finished with 31 saves for the Islanders, who lost their fifth in a row and have been outscored 20- 6 during the stretch.

The Islanders remain on the outside of the Eastern Conference playoff picture, with hopes of reaching the postseason dwindling with each loss.

Hurricanes defenseman Brent Burns participated in his 830th consecutive game, tying Andrew Cogliano for the seventh-longest streak in NHL history.
