Jackson Blake set up three goals as Carolina improved to 8-2-1 and Vancouver dropped its eighth straight game.
On Tuesday, Nicolas Deslauriers, Logan Stankoven, and Nikolaj Ehlers each scored twice as the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Vancouver Canucks 6-3 at Rogers Arena.
Stankoven opened scoring 4:44 into the first period on a backhand pass from Jackson Blake, setting the tone for the defending Stanley Cup champions' offensive dominance throughout the contest.
Goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov made 14 saves while the Hurricanes dominated possession, outshooting Vancouver 41-17; Blake added three assists in the dominant performance.
The loss extended Vancouver's winless streak to eight games, though Linus Karlsson, Jonathan Lekkerimaki, and Max Sasson each scored for the struggling Canucks at home.
Vancouver honored former goalie and broadcaster John Garrett during the game while playing without injured forwards Marco Rossi and goaltender Thatcher Demko.
