Frederik Andersen earned a win in his first home start since opening night, and Seth Jarvis had four points for Carolina in the Hurricanes’ home win over Columbus.

Kotkaniemi scored a goal Thursday in a 7-4 win over the Blue Jackets. Kotkaniemi has a three-game, four-goal streak on the go after scoring one in the previous 16. He now has 10 goals, 13 assists and 79 shots in 49 games with the Canes.

Blue Jackets fall to 0-7-0 in the second game of back-to-backs after watching Hurricanes easily erase 2-0 lead in Raleigh.

Seth Jarvis had two goals and two assists and Sebastian Aho added a goal and two assists as the Carolina Hurricanes scored five goals in the second period and beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 7-4 on Thursday night.

Columbus took a 1-0 lead at 7:08 of the first period. After the Blue Jackets forced a turnover, Luca Del Bel Belluz fed a pass to Johnson, who scored five-hole from the left faceoff circle. Kirill Marchenko made it 2-0 at 9:48 when he took a cross-ice backhand pass from Adam Fantilli and roofed a shot over Andersen’s glove.

Since last night, there has been extensive talk about the blockbuster trade that sent Mikko Rantanen to Carolina. It is rare to see top players traded in the NHL (especially during the season), which has really stolen the spotlight.

It's the last two-game slate of the NFL season. Scott Pianowski helps you build your daily fantasy lineups.

The Commanders are 6-point underdogs at the Eagles and the Bills are 2-point underdogs at the Chiefs.

Sebastian Aho and Jarvis both had a goal and two assists in the five-goal second. The Hurricanes, who've won four consecutive games, also received goals from Eric Robinson, Jackson Blake, Jordan Martinook and Jesperi Kotkaniemi. Martin Necas supplied two assists.

Jesperi Kotkaniemi (3g) has goals in back-to-back games. Martin Necas (2a) has points in back-to-back games. Frederik Andersen is one win away from 300 career wins and would become the second fastest netminder to that milestone.
