Canes’ blue-liners drop Blue Jackets in Columbus

Pesce scored in the first and the third period, while his fellow defensemen Brent Burns, Jalen Chatfield and Jaccob Slavin joined the scoring. Seth Jarvis added Carolina’s sixth goal of the game as the only forward to score. In net for the Hurricanes, Frederik Andersen played for the first time since Nov. 6, stopping 21 of 23 shots faced while putting together a strong return performance.
