RALEIGH, N.C. — Jeff Skinner scored twice in the third period and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Sharks 5-2 on Friday night.
Brent Burns and Tomas Hertl scored for San Jose, which has the league’s second-best road record. The Sharks had won three straight and were 4-0-1 in their previous five games.
Chris Terry and Joakim Nordstrom also scored, and Jordan Staal added an empty-netter for Carolina. The Hurricanes bounced back from a 4-2 loss at Ottawa on Thursday night and haven’t lost consecutive games in regulation in more than two months.
