MacKinnon has a goal and 3 assists, Avalanche ends the Hurricanes’ winning streak with 8

Jack Drury gave the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead at 9:02 of the first period when he snatched Martinook’s center pass from just below the left marker over Georgiev’s blocker.

Martinook extended the lead to 2-0 with a one-timer inside the left faceoff circle at 4:37 of the second period.

“I spoke at length about self-confidence [being] “Big deal, and whenever you see the puck go in, you just gain a little confidence,” Martinook said. “It’s nice to see them go in. A big thank you to my son for making me wear my lucky golf socks. So thanks, Chase man.”

Makar cut the lead to 2-1 with a shorthanded goal at 9:13. He intercepted a cross-ice pass in the defensive zone, skated up the ice and fired a slap shot from the right side of the circle under Martin’s blocker.

“Definitely very contemporary,” Georgiev said. “It was a bit difficult at the beginning too, in the first third and at the start of the second, but then Cale got us going and we just kept going. Gave us confidence.”

Sam Malinski made it 2-2 at 10:57 a.m. when he found the rebound from MacKinnon’s first shot, cut across the crease and lifted a backhand over Martin.

Necas responded and gave Carolina a 3-2 lead with a power play goal at 12:26, ​​tipping Jarvis’ cross pass to the right post.

MacKinnon tied the score at 3-3 with a wrist shot past Martin at 15:49.

“It was obviously a great shot, but that was an impressive goal and you could just tell those guys felt it,” Bednar said. “As a coach, without trying to kill these guys, you have to be able to recognize a little bit when you’re picking up a little momentum and you can send them further out there and they feel it and want to go because they .” can make a big difference in a short period of time.”
