Carolina was playing for the first time since Friday’s NHL trade deadline that saw them send get Stankoven from Dallas in a deal that sent star forward Mikko Rantanen to Dallas just six weeks after the Hurricanes acquired him from Colorado. In a separate deal, Carolina acquired Jankowski from Nashville.

Jankowski beat Hellebuyck from the right circle with 1:55 left in the first period to give the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead. Jankowski struck again, 5:21 into the second for a 2-0 lead. It was Jankowski’s first multi-goal game since Feb. 13, 2020.

Stankoven added a power-play goal 2:34 into the third.

TAKEAWAYS

Jets: After scoring six goals in a road win over New Jersey on Friday, the Jets couldn’t get on the board until Iafallo beat Andersen from an odd angle with 3:46 left in the third period. Lowry’s goal, also unassisted, came in the final minute. Winnipeg’s NHL-best power play went 0-for-3.

Hurricanes: The power play continues to vex the Hurricanes, who went 1-for-6 on Sunday and are 3-for-28 in their past eight games.

KEY MOMENT

Winnipeg thought it had a goal, and cut Carolina’s lead to 2-1 with 6:14 left in the second period, when Cole Perfetti tipped in a shot off Dylan Samberg. After a lengthy review, it was overturned since Perfetti’s stick was ruled to be too high.

KEY STAT

The Hurricanes improved to 29-0-3 when leading after the second period.

UP NEXT

Jets: Host the New York Rangers on Tuesday.

Hurricanes: Host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday.
