Brandon Hagel and Nick Paul also tallied goals for Tampa Bay, while Andrei Vasilevskiy made 30 saves. The Hurricanes' goals came from Andrei Svechnikov and Jordan Staal, with Pytor Kochetkov saving 31 shots in net. Notably, Brent Burns of Carolina matched Steve Larmer for the sixth-longest consecutive games played streak in NHL history, appearing in his 884th game.
