Necas gets 4 points, Hurricanes cruise past Bruins for 5th straight win 

RALEIGH, N.C. -- Martin Necas had four points for the Carolina Hurricanes in an 8-2 win against the Boston Bruins at Lenovo Center on Thursday.

Andrei Svechnikov had three points, Jack Roslovic scored two goals and Pyotr Kochetkov made 13 saves for the Hurricanes (7-2-0), who have won five in a row. Shayne Gostisbehere and Seth Jarvis each had two assists.

“I thought we were good right from the start of the game,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said.

Hampus Lindholm and Brad Marchand scored for the Bruins (4-6-1), who are 1-4-1 in their past six. Joonas Korpisalo made 13 saves in relief of Jeremy Swayman, who allowed six goals on 22 shots.

“Their puck pressure gave us a lot of problems," Boston coach Jim Montgomery said. "The bottom line is, it doesn’t matter what facet of our game it was, it wasn’t good enough. Right now, nobody is happy with what’s going on. It starts by sticking together and working. There’s no substitute for second and third effort.”

Roslovic gave the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead at 6:28 of the first period. On a delayed penalty, Sebastian Aho passed to Roslovic, who scored on a wrist shot from the slot.

“Obviously when you can score, it’s great to add that value to the team,” Roslovic said. “The style of play that we play, it fits me a little bit. So I enjoy playing in the system.”

Marchand scored with a 5-on-3 advantage to make it 1-1 at 13:11. Marchand’s pass intended for David Pastrnak deflected off the right skate of Carolina defenseman Jaccob Slavin and into the net.

The Hurricanes answered with three goals in 52 seconds.

Svechnikov tipped Gostisbehere’s shot from the left point for a power-play goal and a 2-1 lead at 17:14.

“I don’t really care where I play on the power play, half-wall, middle or in front of the net,” Svechnikov said. “It’s been good. We move the puck very well and try to find each other. We’re kind of getting that chemistry. Hopefully we will keep going.”

Jackson Blake tipped in Dmitry Orlov’s shot to push the lead to 3-1 at 17:52. Orlov was playing in his 800th NHL game.

Necas scored on the power play to make it 4-1 at 18:06 when his pass across the slot deflected in off the skate of Boston defenseman Brandon Carlo.

“I don’t think those [types of] goals matter,” Boston forward Trent Frederic said. “I don’t think that can defeat us, or it shouldn’t. But it just kind of kept going obviously.”

Lindholm made it 4-2 with a wrist shot from the slot at 3:38 of the second period.

Svechnikov stuffed in his own rebound for his second power-play goal of the game and a 5-2 lead at 8:51.

“We scored three on the power play, so that’s huge. Game changer,” Necas said. “That’s something we kind of paid attention to the whole preseason and I’m just happy it’s working now.”

Jordan Martinook forced a turnover behind Boston’s net before passing to Roslovic, who scored from the slot to make it 6-2 at 9:32 of the second. Martinook earned his 200th NHL point.

“That kind of epitomizes the way [Martinook] plays,” Brind’Amour said. “He does it every shift like that. Nice to see him get rewarded for his efforts because a lot of times it goes a little bit unnoticed.”

Sean Walker scored to extend the lead to 7-2 at 7:36 of the third period, and Jesperi Kotkaniemi’s first goal of the season made it 8-2 at 12:13.

NOTES: Necas has 12 points (four goals, eight assists) over a five-game point streak. … Svechnikov has six points (three goals, three assists) over a four-game point streak. … Carolina’s three-goal flurry (52 seconds) in the first period was the second fastest in franchise history. It scored three goals in 43 seconds on Oct. 28, 2006.
