LAS VEGAS -- Pyotr Kochetkov made 31 saves for the Carolina Hurricanes in a 5-2 victory against the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena on Monday. Jordan Staal, Eric Robinson and Jasperi Kotkaniemi each had a goal and an assist, and Jaccob Slavin had two assists for Carolina (11-3-0), which has won nine of its last 10.

About eight minutes later, Jesperi Kotkaniemi knocked in his own rebound to make it 2-0 and the Canes were cooking. The visitors outshot the home team in that period, 16-4. Jordan Staal would score a shortie early in the second and Tyson Jost would get on the scoresheet when a Jaccob Slavin shot glanced in off his leg while he was crashing the net.
