COLUMBUS, Ohio - Elias Lindholm, Victor Rask and Chris Terry each scored goals within 1:38 of each other in the third period, Eddie Lack made 43 saves and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-2 on Thursday night.

With Carolina leading 3-1, Lack halted a wraparound attempt by Boone Jenner with his left leg pad. Jenner pushed the puck over the line after a series of swipes, however, to cut Carolina's lead to one at 4:03 of the third.

The Jackets could not net an equalizer despite pulling goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky with 90 seconds remaining.

Matt Calvert tipped a shot by Dalton Prout over Lack's left shoulder and into the net at 17:25 of the second to give Columbus its lone lead of the game. Bobrovsky finished with 21 saves for the Blue Jackets.
