Nikolaj Ehlers' hat trick boosts Hurricanes past Canucks

  • On Wednesday night in Vancouver, Nikolaj Ehlers sealed his seventh career hat trick with an empty-net goal as the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-4.
  • During the second period, Carolina took control with four goals at 2:30, 11:53, and two from Ehlers to lead 5-2, sealing the game.
  • Balanced offense and goaltending carried the Hurricanes as Sean Walker, Andrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho each had a goal and an assist while Seth Jarvis added two assists and Brandon Bussi made 18 saves for his 25th win.
  • The loss deepened Vancouver's slide after a trade sending Tyler Myers to Dallas for 2027 and 2029 picks, despite Filip Hronek’s goal and two assists.
  • With goaltending shuffled, Kevin Lankinen was pulled after surrendering four goals on 22 shots, Nikita Tolopilo made nine saves in relief, and Vancouver played without Evander Kane due to the flu; both teams face Friday games.
