dents over the course of his 16-year NASCAR career, and he missed

RALEIGH, N.C. -- A big comeback win has the Carolina Hurricanes on a three-game winning streak and a point-a-game pace for the season.Victor Rask had a goal and an assist in Carolinas three-goal third period as the Hurricanes rallied for a 3-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Friday night.Jeff Skinner and Teuvo Teravainen also scored for the Hurricanes (6-6-4) during their outburst over a 5-minute, 50-second span of third period. Ron Hainsey had two assists and Cam Ward stopped 31 shots.Its a big lift, Hainsey said of the comeback. Obviously we were outplayed through two (periods). We just had a hard time keeping much in their zone. Being able to claw one out in the third period -- maybe you dont deserve it the way the bulk of the game went, but its certainly something well take.Jeff Petry and Andrew Shaw scored for league-leading Montreal. Al Montoya finished with 15 saves.Montoya was playing in the building, now known as PNC Arena, which was the site of the 2004 draft in which he was the first-round pick by the New York Rangers.We played a really good road game, Monreal coach Michel Therrien said. Youre on the road and give up 18 shots, you usually win those types of hockey games. I think the effort was there. But you need puck luck, and we didnt have the puck luck they did.Montreal outshot Carolina 9-4 in a scoreless first period, and then had a 12-4 advantage in the second as they took a 1-0 lead.Petry scored with 5:41 left in the period as his shot from the right circle went into the open glove side of the net. The goal stood up after a Carolina coachs challenge for goalie interference, with the ruling that Hurricanes defenseman Noah Hanifin had checked Daniel Carr into Ward with the goalie falling off his skates.Skinner tied it at 3:12 of the third, redirecting Hainseys blast from the left point off his left skate and past Montoya glove side.Carolina then took the lead at 7:43, as Teravainen deflected Hainseys rocket from the high slot past Montoya.This is a good league, Carolina coach Bill Peters said. Theres not many nights when youre playing a team that isnt any good. And you have to have a healthy respect for everybody in the league. But if were beating good teams, thats got to put us in that category at some point.And it went to 3-1 at 9:02, as Rask scored on a wrister from the right circle on a centering pass from Elias Lindholm.Weve been having good goaltending, and its certainly always good to have that on your back, said Rask, who shares the team scoring lead with Skinner with seven goals and 14 points. And were scoring a lot of goals now. We didnt play our best in the beginning, but we stuck with our game plan. Were beating some of the best teams in the league now, and were feeling good.Shaw cut the margin to 3-2 with 4:31 left.Game notes The contest was the first of the teams three-game season series.
