RALEIGH, N.C. — Seth Jarvis scored three goals, including an empty-netter to complete his hat trick, as the Carolina Hurricanes pulled away in the third period for a 5-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Friday night at the Lenovo Center.

The win snapped a two-game losing streak for the Hurricanes, who improved to 15-7-2 and earned their second victory against Winnipeg in a week. Jarvis, a native of Winnipeg, opened the scoring with 3:54 left in the first period, converting a pass from defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere in the left circle past Jets rookie goaltender Thomas Milic.

The matchup featured a duel between rookie netminders, with Carolina's Brandon Bussi making 12 saves on 13 shots to improve his record to 6-1, and Milic stopping 30 of 35 shots in his NHL debut. Bussi drew chants from the home crowd after a key stop on Kyle Connor during a third-period shorthanded chance, which Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour called "the play of the game."
