SEATTLE (AP) — Andrei Svechnikov scored two goals 70 seconds apart in the second period, Sebastian Aho had a goal and two assists, and the Carolina Hurricanes remained unbeaten with a 5-1 win over the Seattle Kraken. Carolina improved to 3-0 behind a barrage of second period goals. Carolina scored three times in less than three minutes, two of them coming on the power play after the Hurricanes started the season 0-for-5 in extra-man opportunities. Svechnikov’s two goals helped Carolina create separation after Andre Burakovsky scored on the power play to pull Seattle within 2-1. It was Svechnikov’s first two-goal game of the season after he had five last year.
