RALEIGH, N.C. — The Carolina Hurricanes couldn’t hold on to a two-goal lead against the struggling Vancouver Canucks and ended up with a 4-3 shootout loss Sunday at PNC Arena.
Elias Pettersson and Andrei Kuzmenko scored in the shootout for the Canucks, who had lost four straight and seven of eight. Pettersson had the game-deciding goal as only Andrei Svechnikov could score for the Canes (27-9-8), with Brent Burns and Teuvo Teravainen both having shootout attempts find the crossbar.
Both Canes goalie Pyotr Kochetkov and the Canucks’ Collin Delia made sparkling stops in the overtime as both teams had tantalizing scoring chances.
