Hurricanes rally to beat Coyotes 6-5 despite fluke goal | News & Observer

Just when the Carolina Hurricanes believed things couldn’t get any more bizarre this season … it did.

The Hurricanes gave up one of the most unusual goals imaginable, but surged past the Arizona Coyotes 6-5 Thursday at PNC Arena as Jeff Skinner and rookie Valentin Zykov each had a pair of goals.

Skinner’s second goal of the game, with 1:58 left in regulation, pushed the Canes ahead 6-5. Skinner, who has 22 goals, also earned an assist.

Zykov, playing on a line with Sebastian Aho and Teuvo Teravainen, had a pair of goals for the Canes.
