A stunning downfall considering New Jersey lost only four times through the end of November - a span of 23 games. The Devils lost their sixth straight game. “We were able to capitalize on a few of their mistakes.” “I feel like they were doing what they wanted to do,” Brind’Amour said. Kochetkov made 37 saves overall, including a stop on Jesper Bratt’s breakaway in the final 30 seconds of the second period. “It’s two points,” Carolina coach Rod Brind’Amour said after his team improved to 7-1-0 against Metropolitan Division foes. Jordan Staal, Teuvo Teravainen and Stefan Noesen also scored for the Hurricanes, who have a 12-game points streak and moved into first place in the division, two points ahead of the Devils. Jesperi Kotkaniemi scored 20 seconds into the game and rookie goalie Pyotr Kochetkov stopped the first 35 shots he faced as the Carolina Hurricanes beat the struggling New Jersey Devils 4-1 on Tuesday night in a matchup of Metropolitan Division leaders.
