Canes blister Canucks, 7-2, behind Stankoven's 1st career hat trick.

Logan Stankoven notched his first career NHL hat trick and Sean Walker had 4 assists as the Canes dominated the Canucks, 7-2. K'Andre Miller's goal just 78 seconds into the game was a sign of what was to come. Before the midpoint of the period Andre Svechnikov would score twice on the power play. Then, after Mark Jankowski scored his second goal in as many games to make it 4-0, Stankoven ran off three straight Canes goals for a natural hat trick and the rout was complete. Pyotr Kochetkov made 18 saves in the win. Taylor Hall, Jackson Blake and Shayne Gostisbehere each had 2 assists in the win. The Hurricanes were perfect on special teams, going 3 for 3 on the power play and killing off all 4 Vancouver chances with the man advantage -- plus, the first of Stankoven's goals came shorthanded.
