“So you got to give him credit for answering that.”
“We were trying to give him the night off, but (Antti Raanta) wasn’t able to go,” Brind’Amour said. Kochetkov, who has been busy lately, delivered in a tough spot for Carolina. “Problems are going to be complicated, especially when the other team is more competitive.” “We needed to compete harder from the drop of the puck,” Sabres coach Don Granato said. Eric Comrie stopped 29 shots in his first game in a week. “We were able to cash in.”Ĭasey Mittelstadt and Tyson Jost scored for the Sabres, who had secured at least one point in seven of their previous 13 road games. “We just were able to score and, for the most part, keep them off the scoresheet,” coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “It just counts for the two (team) points, but it’s nice to have that kind of effort,” Aho said.Ĭarolina matched its highest scoring game of the season. Martin Necas, Jaccob Slavin, Brent Burns and Andrei Svechnikov all posted two assists as Carolina won for the third time in four games. Jack Drury, Stefan Noesen, Teuvo Teravainen and Brady Skjei also scored for the Hurricanes.
Sebastian Aho scored two goals and the Carolina Hurricanes cruised to a 6-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday.Ĭarolina goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov, playing for the fourth game in a row despite an expected night off, carried a shutout into the third period.
