RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Andrei Svechnikov, Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Charles Alexis Legault each had a goal and an assist and the Carolina Hurricanes extended their winning streak to three games with a 6-3 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday night.

Sebastian Aho and Eric Robinson, returning from a six-game absence, also scored for the Hurricanes, who won for the fourth time in five games despite using a revolving roster because of injuries. Seth Jarvis and Legault, who didn’t have a career point until a third-period assist, added empty-net goals. Pyotr Kochetkov made 19 saves.
