Hughes scored his first goal of the season off the rush to give the Devils a 1-0 lead at 1:16 of the second period. He cut in front of Hurricanes defenseman Brent Burns and into the slot before beating Kochetkov on a low wrist shot.
The Hurricanes tied it 1-1 at 10:55. Devils forward Stefan Noesen tried to knock the puck off Jarvis’ stick in the slot, but the Carolina forward spun and scored over Markstrom’s glove.
“Just trying to keep it simple, getting to the net,” Jarvis said. “Honestly, a lot of it was just getting it deep early.”
Gostisbehere put Carolina in front 2-1 with 37 seconds left in the period when he took a pass from Martin Necas above the face-off circles and scored with a wrist shot under the crossbar.
“We just sustained pressure low,” Gostisbehere said. “[Jesperi Kotkaniemi] made a great play and found ‘Nechie,’ and Nechie found me. I was just trying to get the shot through, and thankfully the goalie slid the other way.”
