RALEIGH, N.C. — For openers, it was all the Carolina Hurricanes and their fans wanted Wednesday at PNC Arena.
The Canes took a solid 4-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, falling behind early in the second period and then taking control of the game before a sellout crowd.
After forward Seth Jarvis tied the score 1-1, defenseman Brady Skjei scored late in the second for a 2-1 lead. Martin Necas and Andrei Svechnikov then scored in the third for the Canes, who will play their next five games on the road with the State Fair up and running.
