Jarvis' late goal lifts Hurricanes past Flyers in OT

Seth Jarvis scored with 17 seconds left in overtime to give the Carolina Hurricanes a 4-3 victory against the Philadelphia Flyers at Lenovo Center in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Saturday.

Jarvis scored on a one-timer from the left face-off circle off a setup by Sebastian Aho. The goal came less than a minute after the Flyers appeared to win it on Bobby Brink's goal at 4:06, but it was overturned after an NHL Situation Room video review showed Philadelphia defenseman Travis Sanheim interfered with goalie Frederik Andersen.

"We get a second chance and that doesn't happen often," Jarvis said. "I think everyone, when we saw the replay, that's what we thought was going to happen. Just pulled us back in, tried to finish the game strong and thankfully we scored."

Sanheim had tied it 3-3 at 16:00 of the third period when he one-timed a Brink pass from above the circles.

"Just trying to make a play to the net, I guess incidental contact," Sanheim said of the sequence leading to the overturned goal. "Felt like he kind of pushed his arms out too. It was kind of, I have to make a play as well."

Logan Stankoven, Taylor Hall and Jordan Staal scored in the second period for Carolina (2-0-0). Andersen made 20 saves.

Hurricanes defenseman Jaccob Slavin left the game with 3:26 remaining in the third period because of an undisclosed injury.

"He's getting looked at," Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour said. "We'll know more about his status Monday. He came up a little gimpy. Hopefully it's nothing."

Brink had a goal and an assist, and Owen Tippett also scored for Philadelphia (0-1-1), which was 4-for-4 on the penalty kill. Samuel Ersson made 35 saves.

"I thought there was really some great efforts from some guys," Flyers coach Rick Tocchet said. "Bobby Brink was outstanding tonight, Ersson was great. The penalty kill hung in there. We’ve just got to stop giving freebie goals. That's the one thing. Can't give free goals. But other than that, I thought there was some outstanding efforts, we got 'Tipp' skating. There's some guys out there that really worked hard."

Tippett gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead with a power-play goal at 19:38 of the first period. Travis Konecny's shot from the left side bounced off a stanchion behind the net and right to Tippett, who was alone in front of Andersen.

Trevor Zegras, acquired in a trade with the Anaheim Ducks on June 23, got an assist for his first point with Philadelphia.

Stankoven tied it 1-1 at 3:46 of the second period when he scored on the rebound of a Jackson Blake shot.

Brink put the Flyers ahead 2-1 at 6:18 with a shot from the right face-off circle. Nikita Grebenkin had an assist on the goal for his first NHL point. He was playing his eighth game and first with Philadelphia.

"I felt good, bounces were going our way for our line tonight," Brink said. "Linemates made a bunch of good plays and ended up getting a few past their goalie there."

Hall made it 2-2 on the rush at 9:07 when he got a step on Sanheim and redirected Eric Robinson's pass past Ersson.

"'Robby' has been sensational," Brind'Amour said. "I've got to find more ice time for those guys. ... It's something I'm going to have to figure out because they were good tonight, those two especially."

Staal put the Hurricanes ahead 3-2 at 18:30 with a shot from the bottom of the right circle. He dumped the puck to Jordan Martinook behind the Philadelphia net, skated off the wall on the right side of the offensive zone and one-timed Martinook's backhand pass through the slot.

"I've been telling him I'm wide open back door for years, so he finally found me," Staal said. “Obviously our tendencies, we've been together for a long time, kind of figured it was going in that area anyway and I was fortunate to get it off my stick quick."

NOTES: Staal's goal was his 299th in the NHL. He's the fifth active player to score in at least 20 seasons, joining Sidney Crosby (21), Brent Burns (21), Alex Ovechkin (20) and Corey Perry (20). ... Jarvis scored his 99th NHL goal and third in the first two games. ... Alexander Nikishin had an assist on Stankoven's goal and became the fourth defenseman in Hurricanes/Hartford Whalers history with at least a point in each of his first two regular-season games, joining Jamie McBain (four games, 2009-10), Todd Richards (two games, 1990-91) and Mark Fusco (two games, 1983-84). Nikishin also had an assist in a 6-3 win against the New Jersey Devils on Thursday. ... The Hurricanes have won six straight games against the Flyers.
