(Raleigh) Frederik Andersen blocked 24 shots against his former team and the Carolina Hurricanes tied their best start to the season after five games with a 4-1 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night.
Sebastian Aho, Steven Lorentz and Nino Niederreiter hit the mark in the second half against Jack Campbell.
Andrei Svechnikov added a goal from an empty net and Jaccob Slavin collected two assists.
The Hurricanes have a perfect record, also going 5-0-0 in 2019-2020.
In the loss, Campbell stopped 31 pucks.
In their last four outings, the Maple Leafs are 0-3-1 and have been limited to one goal in three of those four games.
Auston Matthews gave the Maple Leafs the lead with his first goal of the season 3:25 off the opening period
Since the Hurricanes were unable to match the score before the end of the period, that means they started the second period facing a deficit for the first time this season.
Aho and Lorentz found the back of the net within two and a half minutes in the second period.
Aho has earned at least one point in each of the Hurricanes’ games this season.
Lorentz’s goal was his first of the season.
