RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Seth Jarvis had three goals for his first career hat trick and the Carolina Hurricanes scored three times in the first five minutes of the third period to beat the Montreal Canadiens 6-2. Jarvis scored in the first and third periods for his first multigoal game of the season, capping his night with a short-handed goal with 19.8 seconds left. He has 11 goals this season, but had just two since Christmas before this outburst. Jesperi Kotkaniemi, Sebastian Aho and Jordan Staal also scored for Carolina. The Hurricanes have won nine of their last 10. Michael Pezzetta and Rafael Harvey-Pinard scored for the Canadiens, but their three-game winning streak ended.
