RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) Jeff Skinner had two goals and an assist, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New York Rangers 3-2 on Friday night.
Skinner originally had his fifth career hat trick before the third goal was awarded to Bryan Bickell on a scoring change. Still, Skinner's 16th career three-point night - in his debut wearing the ''A'' as an alternate captain - helped the Hurricanes win their home opener.
Victor Rask had two assists, giving him points in all seven games, and Cam Ward made 28 saves - stopping Mats Zuccarello with about 5 seconds left - to help Carolina snap a two-game losing streak.
