Jersey , Fla. (AP) Jeff Skinner’s scoring tear is no coincidence.
Just ask his coach. The left wing had two goals, including the game-winner with
3:55 left, to lead the Carolina Hurricanes over the Florida Panthers 4-3 on
Tuesday night. Skinner has an eight-game point streak, with five goals in his
last three games, and leads the team with 28 goals and 51 points this season.
”He’s at the net; he’s doing things right,” Carolina coach Bill Peters said. ”He
went at the net hard on the game-winner and got rewarded for it.” The Hurricanes
fell behind on three occasions but each time came back to tie the game before
Skinner finally scored the winner. ”We’re a better team when it’s tied or we’re
playing with the lead Youth Damontre Moore #58
Jersey ,” Peters said. ”A young group, so we feel a little more
confident in those situations. Those are real big answers.” Carolina went ahead
for good 4-3 when Derek Ryan passed from behind the goal line to Skinner in
front and he pushed the puck past goaltender Reto Berra. ”(Ryan) made a great
play driving wide and I just had to go to the net with my stick on the ice and
put it on the net,” Skinner said. ”You want to have good responses after a goal
against or even a goal for. For us to be able to do that a couple of times was
good for us.” Sebastian Aho had a goal and an assist for Carolina, and Teuvo
Teravainen also scored. Cam Ward stopped 33 shots. ”It was a gutsy effort. At
times it wasn’t pretty, but every time they scored we were able to respond and
counter with another goal to even it up,” Ward said. Keith Yandle Authentic Womens Dan Bailey
Jersey , Reilly Smith and Aleksander Barkov scored for the
Panthers. Jaromir Jagr added two assists and has 41 points this season. Berra
made 21 saves in his first start since being recalled from the minors March 3.
His previous NHL start was on Dec. 9, 2015, for the Colorado Avalanche in a 4-2
loss to Pittsburgh. ”At the beginning, I was fighting the puck a little bit, but
as the game went on I felt better,” Berra said. The Hurricanes are six points
behind Toronto for the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference Authentic Womens DeMarcus Lawrence

a 3-2 lead on Yandle’s goal 1:14 into the second. Yandle attempted a pass that
deflected off several Hurricanes players and into the net. The lead didn’t last
long. Carolina tied the game for the third time when Skinner grabbed a loose
puck and poked it in at 1:41 for his first goal of the night. ”I don’t know how
many games we have lost in the last five minutes. We have been leading almost
every game the last two months, and then we find a way to lose them,” Barkov
said. ”I don’t know. It’s unbelievable.” Smith’s goal put the Panthers in front
2-1. Smith took a pass from Jussi Jokinen in front and poked it into the open
net at 11:51. Aho tied the score 2-all with a short-handed goal. He took a pass
from Elias Lindholm in front and slid it under Berra’s pads at 14:24 of the
first. Barkov gave the Panthers a 1-0 lead 1:35 in when he deflected a shot from
the point by Jason Demers past Ward. Teravainen evened the score with his
power-play goal. The puck came off the boards to Teravainen at the side of the
net and he swept it in at 5:09. NOTES: Panthers D Aaron Ekblad returned after
