The Carolina Hurricanes took care of business Sunday night in PNC Arena, beating the Seattle Kraken 3-2 in the expansion franchise’s first-ever visit to Raleigh.
The Kraken held a 1-0 and 2-1 lead in the game, but a late second-period goal from Teuvo Teravainen and game-winner in the third period from the recently snake-bitten Martin Necas helped pave the way to a win for the home team.
Nino Niederreiter scored the other goal for the Hurricanes, while Alex Wennberg and Calle Jarnkrok netted for Seattle. Antti Raanta was very good in the Canes’ net, stopping 28 of 30 shots, while Philipp Grubauer took the loss on the other end of the ice.
