Hurricanes score six in third to beat Canucks

Justin Faulk scored the go-ahead goal 5:56 into the third period, and the host Carolina Hurricanes rallied from three goals down to beat the Vancouver Canucks 8-6 on Tuesday night.

Jeff Skinner scored two goals, with his second starting Carolina’s wild comeback. The Hurricanes scored six goals in the third — including four in a 4:40 span — to erase a 5-2 deficit.

“It’s fun to get on a little bit of a roll like that,” Skinner said, “but you don’t want to see it too often.”

Ron Hainsey and Victor Rask scored 24 seconds apart before Faulk put Carolina back up with a wrist shot that clicked off Vancouver defenseman Nikita Tryamkin on its way past goalie Ryan Miller.
