NEW YORK (AP) — Petr Kochetkov made 25 saves in his season debut, Nikolaj Ehlers, Sean Walker and Seth Jarvis scored and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New York Rangers 3-0 on Tuesday night.
Ehlers, who signed with Carolina last summer after 10 seasons in Winnipeg, scored his first goal for the Hurricanes with 6:30 left in the first period. Walker made it 2-0 with 3:53 left in the second with a long shot from the right point that eluded goalie Igor Shesterkin.
Seth Jarvis scored his team-best eighth goal into an empty net. Mike Reilly had two assists.
Kochetkov missed the start of the season due to a lower body injury. He won 27 games for Carolina last season. The 26-year-old Russian stopped Rangers captain JT Miller at point-blank range just over two minutes into the period on a power play. The shutout was the 11th of his career.
The Rangers had their three-game winning streak snapped. They lost at home, scoring just six goals in six games.
