Teravainen, Svechnikov, Aho help Hurricanes send Canadiens to 3rd straight loss

Frederik Andersen made 32 saves for his fourth shutout of the season, Andrei Svechnikov scored twice and the Carolina Hurricanes dominated the Montreal Canadiens 4-0 in Raleigh on Thursday night.

"I think we wanted to play a complete game and I thought we did," Andersen said.

Tony DeAngelo and Jaccob Slavin both assisted on two goals.

Carolina stretches their points streak to six games with a 4-0 victory over Montreal.

Andersen faced 14 shots in the third period, when the Hurricanes killed off three penalties. By then, the Hurricanes were in control.

Coach Rod Brind'Amour said he liked how Carolina set the tone and Andersen came up big when necessary.

"We didn't give up much," Brind'Amour said. "There was a breakaway in the first period."

Some of Carolina's good work came in the final minutes, withstanding Montreal's extra skater before Svechnikov's second goal went into an empty net and pushed him to 200 career points in 270 games.

"He probably should have more if you look at how he's played," Brind'Amour said. "He's getting a lot of empty-netters so he's kind of making up for those stretches when it's not going in for him."

'We were a little taken aback by how aggressive they actually are'

The Canadiens were blanked for the fifth time this season, the last one coming on Dec. 30 in the same building against Carolina. Jake Allen stopped 40 shots for Montreal, which has won just once in its last six games (1-3-2).

The Hurricanes held a 42-18 edge in shots through two periods.

"We were a little taken aback by how aggressive they actually are," Canadiens centre Nick Suzuki said. "We had no time to make plays."

Aho scored the first goal 3:48 into the game on a power play. Thirteen of Aho's team-high 31 goals have come on power play — the most for a Carolina player in man-advantage situations in a dozen years.

Teravainen scored at 3:43 of the second period for his first goal in 12 games, though he owns a six-game points streak.

"They work for all their chances," Allen said. "That's the culture they have on that team."
