Carolina Hurricanes' recent 4-2 victory over the Devils
The Carolina Hurricanes welcomed newly acquired Evgeny Kuznetsov to their lineup as they faced the New Jersey Devils, ultimately securing a 4-2 victory. Jesperi Kotkaniemi's early third-period goal broke the tie, showcasing Carolina's priority toward tight defense.
Martin Necas contributed a power-play goal, while Andrei Svechnikov and Teuvo Teravainen sealed the win with empty-net goals. Teravainen's two assists extended his point streak to six games. Kuznetsov, playing his first game since January, praised his new team's young talent and competitiveness.
“A lot of young guys. Lot of young guys, which is exciting and I feel like they all compete hard and they have skill. My job is just fill in and do whatever is best for the team,” Kuznetsov said
For the Devils, Nico Hischier and Timo Meier scored, but goaltending issues persisted, with a crucial mistake from Nico Daws allowing Kotkaniemi's go-ahead goal.
Despite a second-period challenge from Carolina, negating a potential power-play goal, it maintained its lead. Jack Hughes assisted on Hischier's goal, while both Hughes brothers hit the goalposts for New Jersey.
Next, the Carolina Hurricanes will be playing a home game against the Calgary Flames. They currently hold a record of 38-19-6 and are placed second in the Metropolitan Division.
