Hurricanes rally to beat Devils 3-2 in OT, win 3rd straight

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Rookie Seth Jarvis scored with 3:21 left in overtime and Carolina Hurricanes rallied from a late two-goal deficit to beat New Jersey Devils 3-2 on Saturday for ir third straight win.

Carolina had tied game at 2-all on third-period goals by Brady Skjei and Ni Niederreiter in final five minutes.

Rookie Pyotr Kochetkov made 17 saves for Carolina in winning his NHL debut.

Yegor Sharangovich and Nico Hischier had staked Devils to a 2-0 lead. Jon Gillies, who was minutes away from his first NHL shutout, made 26 saves for New Jersey in his first start in a month.

Jarvis won game with a shot from right circle after being set up by Tony DeAngelo.

Skjei cut margin to 2-1 on a shot that deflected past Gillies off skate of Devils' defenseman Kevin Bahl at 15:24. Niederreiter lifted a rebound over journeyman goaltender with 1:56 left in regulation.

Sharangovich opened scoring with 4:17 left in second period, tipping a shot by Jesper Boqvist past Kochetkov. It snapped a 0-for-30 streak on Devils’ power play that covered last 11-plus games.

Hischier seemed to give Devils breathing room when he snapped a shot from left circle past Kochetkov at 8:30 of third period.

22-year-old Kochetkov has had a odd season. He played in 23 KHL games. When his team didn't make playoffs, 2019 second-round draft pick went to AHL and posted an 13-1-1 record with Chicago. He was called up after Frederik Anderson was hurt recently and got to play after backing up Antti Raanta for two games.
