RALEIGH, N.C. -- The Carolina Hurricanes scored five straight goals in the second period, and Frederik Andersen made 18 saves for his 300th NHL win, 7-4 against the Columbus Blue Jackets at Lenovo Center on Thursday.

What a night to be a hockey fan of the Carolina Hurricanes and the Columbus Blue Jackets. Going into the game on Thursday night (Jan. 23), the Blue Jackets will finish the month of January playing six of their seven games on the road.

The Blue Jackets ran out of gas — physically, emotionally or both — in the second period on Thursday, allowing the Hurricanes to score five consecutive goals on their way to a 7-4 win before 18,700. Carolina teed up 24 shots on goal in the second, the most the Blue Jackets have allowed in a period all season.

Columbus took a 1-0 lead at 7:08 of the first period. After the Blue Jackets forced a turnover, Luca Del Bel Belluz fed a pass to Johnson, who scored five-hole from the left face-off circle. Kirill Marchenko made it 2-0 at 9:48 when he took a cross-ice backhand pass from Adam Fantilli and roofed a shot over Andersen’s glove.

There were times that the Carolina Hurricanes seemed a little out of kilter during the past month, but they might be hitting their stride again.

Blue Jackets fall to 0-7-0 in the second game of back-to-backs after watching Hurricanes easily erase 2-0 lead in Raleigh.
