Key figures
Carolina’s goalie Pyotr Kochetkov stopped 14 of the 17 shots he faced for the reigning Stanley Cup champions, who were coming off a 3-2 loss to the Calgary Flames on Sunday.
Goalie Leevi Merilainen provided a bright spot for Vancouver with 26 saves, and stopped a Sebastian Aho penalty shot attempt in the second period after Canucks centre Elias Pettersson was caught throwing his stick in an attempt to interrupt the centreman’s attack.
Canucks defenceman Tom Willander lost track of Ehlers behind the Vancouver net and the winger took advantage, sneaking up from below the goal line, collecting a pass from Blake and snapping an uncontested shot into a yawning net to give Carolina a 2-1 lead.
Deslauriers provided the difference maker at the 4:07 mark of the third.
Nadeau chipped him a backhanded pass from along the end boards and the 35-year-old forward put it in off Merilainen to give the Hurricanes a 4-3 lead.
