ST. LOUIS (AP) — Jaccob Slavin scored the winning goal 7:53 into the third period and Jake Guentzel added a pair of empty-netters, lifting the Carolina Hurricanes to a 5-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Friday night.
“It was four on four and Sebastian (Aho) was in the middle with the puck,” Slavin said. “He hit me right on the tape and I just had to touch it. That’s about it.”
Slavin scored when both teams were playing with four men as Carolina won its fourth game in a row and sixth in its last seven.
“I thought we had some real good individual efforts and our goaltending was great,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “We had some real high-end plays at crucial times. We did enough to get the win.”
Seth Jarvis and Jordan Martinook also scored for Carolina and Frederik Andersen made 29 saves to improve to 13-2-0.
Jordan Kyrou and Zack Bolduc scored for St. Louis and Jordan Binnington made 37 saves.
