40 minutes down, 20 (o̶r̶ m̶o̶r̶e̶) to go. 6-1, #Canes. The defending champs are looking good tonight.

Another slick setup here, this time courtesy of Taylor Hall. No indecision on the rip.

Logan Stankoven strikes again! This time it's on the power play to make it 6-1.

Sean Walker is having himself a night and now has a primary helper. Nasty pass.

Logan Stankoven buries Carolina's first shorthanded goal of the season! It's 5-1.

With Seth Jarvis in the broadcast booth, Mark Jankowski gives him a goal to talk about! 🎙️

060

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 35m

A good keep-in at the blue line created a down-low two-on-one, and Janko called his own number. Pick your spot, #77!

Vancouver gets on the board. Jake DeBrusk makes it 4-1 with 15:57 to go in the second period.

Make it 4-0, #Canes! Mark Jankowski scores for the second straight game.

Done with 20 minutes at Lenovo Center. 3-0, #Canes. A mostly dominant start for the home team.

040

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1h

The #Canes have a three-goal lead before the 10-minute mark! 😳

Slam dunk! 🏀 Jordan Staal won the draw to start the man advantage, and five seconds later, it was in the back of the net.

020

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1h

Another power play goal! It's Andrei Svechnikov again, making it 3-0.

The #Canes' power play has now scored in four straight games! 🔥

020

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1h

Nice facilitation from Shayne Gostisbehere out high. The #Canes had chance after chance during that attempt, and finally converted.

020

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1h

Andrei Svechnikov scores on the power play to extend Carolina's early lead to 2-0! Some excellent work around the crease.

Getting the first goal is Key! 🔑

Carolina has found twine in the opening three minutes of their last three games. Starting on time!

020

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 1h

The #Canes start the scoring early again! K'Andre Miller strikes just 1:18 in.

How the #Canes line up tonight against Vancouver — Carrier - Aho - Svechnikov Hall - Stankoven - Blake Ehlers - Staal - Martinook Robinson - Jankowski - Kotkaniemi Slavin - Chatfield Miller - Walker Gostisbehere - Reilly Kochetkov

The #Canes through four games: • 25 penalties taken (T-1st) • 26 penalties drawn (1st)

There is no updated timeline for when we could see him in a game. "Probably four to six months" from the end of June was what we've always been told.

Seth Jarvis, who is out of a yellow, no-contact jersey as of this morning, says his surgically repaired shoulder feels good. "Just easing into contact is kind of the biggest step... Now it's just a matter of getting comfortable, making sure it's ready to go."

Ehlers - Staal - Martinook Robinson - Jankowski - Kotkaniemi Deslauriers - Jarvis Slavin - Chatfield Miller - Walker Gostisbehere - Reilly Valimaki Kochetkov | Bussi (2/2)

The #Canes eye a third straight win tonight when they host the Canucks. Pyotr Kochetkov is in the starter's crease at morning skate. Aside from Seth Jarvis in a regular practice jersey, there are no changes to the lineup of skaters. Carrier - Aho - Svechnikov Hall - Stankoven - Blake (1/2)

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 10h

Well, well, well… Seth Jarvis (offseason shoulder surgery) is in a regular practice jersey at morning skate for the #Canes. It is the first time we have seen him not in yellow. He’s working as an extra to start the day, so he’s not ready to return yet, but still a great sign.

Sebastian Aho has four goals in four games. The only players in team history (since relocation) with more through the first four games of a season are: • Andrei Svechnikov (6 in 2022-23) • Seth Jarvis (5 in 2025-26) • Eric Staal (5 in 2005-06)

051

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Rod Brind'Amour said he thought his team was in control for most of the night. Taylor Hall called it "a weird game." Both things felt very true, but most importantly, the #Canes are coming home with two points.

051

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

W! It was a wild first period, but the #Canes were really sharp the rest of the way and earned a 6-4 win in Montreal. Taylor Hall had two goals, and Sebastian Aho (1G, 2A) posted a second straight multi-point game.

040

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Jaccob Slavin made a sound stand-up at the blue line to allow Sebastian Aho to make this play. That's Svech's first of the season.

030

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Andrei Svechnikov, empty-net goal! The #Canes go up 6-4.

040

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Montreal scores with the extra attacker on. Juraj Slafkovský cashes in to make it 5-4 with 3:03 on the clock.

010

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Taylor Hall's got two, and the #Canes have five! 🖐️

030

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Jaccob Slavin's rocket from the point was knocked down, but Hall, who was working the net front, was the first to it, and put it past Dobes.

060

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Taylor Hall's second goal of the night gives Carolina some late insurance! He swats one home on the backhand.

040

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

40 minutes down, 20 (o̶r̶ m̶o̶r̶e̶) to go. 4-3, #Canes. After killing off the remaining five-on-three time to start the period, Carolina really settled into their game and completely controlled things from there. A fantastic frame for the visitors.

020

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

After an interesting first period, the engine is humming for the #Canes in the second.

040

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Carolina has been buzzing this entire period, and now they've got their lead back.

040

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Mark Jankowski puts the #Canes in the driver's seat! A backhand roof job makes it 4-3.

020

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Carolina's power play has four goals in four games to start the season. 🚨

030

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

That's a nasty little backhand saucer from Nikolaj Ehlers to set up the sequence.

052

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Carolina's power play comes up with an answer to start the second period! Sebastian Aho has his fourth goal in the last three games.

050

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Done with 20 minutes in Quebec. 3-2, Canadiens. No shortage of action in that start. The break comes at a good time for the #Canes, who could probably use a second to reset.

000

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Montreal reclaims the lead. Zachary Bolduc's second goal of the period moves things to 3-2. 7:06 until the intermission.

Put the puck on net and good things happen! 🗣️

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Nice job by Mark Jankowski and Jesperi Kotkaniemi to win the O-zone draw. It looks like it hit Robby's hip and went in, but it wouldn't surprise me if this scoring changed, too.

040

Walt Ruff (Bot) @notwaltruff.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Taylor Hall is now credited with Carolina's first goal of the evening. [Response to a quoted post]
