Pyotr Kochetkov won his 9th straight game to start the season as the Hurricanes beat the Blue Jackets, 3-2.  His 24 save performance allows Pyotr to set the franchise record for consecutive season-opening victories, breaking the tie with former Hurricanes goalie Frederik Andersen that was set in the opening stretch of the 2021-22 season.  Jordan Martinook, Logan Stankoven and Mark Jankowski each scored and Seth Jarvis dished off a couple of assists as the Canes had a 3-0 lead 16 seconds into the 3rd period.  But, three penalties later the Blue Jackets had closed within a goal and Carolina had to sweat it out the rest of the way.  The Hurricanes are 11-2-2 on the season, the best record in the NHL.

Sebastian Aho scored the game-winning goal in the middle of the 3rd period as the Canes beat the Bruins, 2-1, at Lenovo Center.  Pyotr Kochetkov made 14 saves for his 8th win in as many starts as the Hurricanes improve to 10-2-2 on the season.  Kochetkov's 8 straight wins to start the year ties the franchise record set by Frederik Andersen in the 2021-22 season.  It was also his 5th win against the Bruins and improves his record against them to 5-0-1.  Jackson Blake's 3rd goal of the year tied the game in the final minute of the 1st period and has 14 points in Carolina's 14 games this year.  The Penalty Kill shut the Bruins down after allowing a Pavel Zacha goal just 91 seconds into the game.  The kill was needed twice in the final 5 minutes to close out the win.

Seth Jarvis made his season debut, and scored one of the best goals you'll ever see, but the Canes fell to the Oilers, 6-5, in a shootout.  Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl each had two goals and five assists in the win.  Edmonton's power play was also 3 for 5 on the night.  Thje Hurricanes also got goals from Jackson Blake, Logan Stankoven, Juuso Valimaki and Sebastian Aho -- who also added an assist.  But, Aho's decision to gamble for a steal early in the 3rd period led to McDavid's first goal as the Oilers rallied from a 4-2 deficit to open the final period.  It was the only poor play from Aho on an otherwise excellent performance.  He won 12 of 19 face offs and is 43-22 in the circle over the last 3 games.  Jarvis was denied in the shootout after Ryan Nugent-Hopkins gave Edmonton the lead in the 3rd round.
