RALEIGH, N.C. -- Frederik Andersen became the second-fastest goaltender to reach 300 wins as the Carolina Hurricanes scored five straight goals in the second period to rally past the Columbus Blue Jackets for a 7-4 win at Lenovo Center on Thursday.
Frederik Andersen earned a win in his first home start since opening night, and Seth Jarvis had four points for Carolina in the Hurricanes’ home win over Columbus.
Jesperi Kotkaniemi (3g) has goals in back-to-back games. Martin Necas (2a) has points in back-to-back games. Frederik Andersen is one win away from 300 career wins and would become the second fastest netminder to that milestone.
BOTTOM LINE: The Carolina Hurricanes are looking to keep a three-game win streak going when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets. Carolina is 29-16-3 overall with a 12-4-2 record in Metropolitan Division play. The Hurricanes have gone 27-4-2 when scoring at least three goals.
