The outcome was not in doubt for long as Jordan Martinook scored his sixth of the season eight minutes into the game to give Carolina a 1-0 lead after 20 minutes.
Sebastian Aho broke out of his goalscoring slump with a power play goal to make it 2-0 late in the second, as Martin Necas extended his point streak with a primary assist while Shayne Gostisbehere added the secondary.
