RALEIGH, N.C. — — Jack Roslovic and Andrei Svechnikov each scored twice and the Carolina Hurricanes returned home for the first time in more than two weeks to beat the Boston Bruins 8-2 on Thursday night for their fifth straight victory.

Carolina scored three times in a span of 52 seconds in the first period with four goals.

Martin Necas had a goal and an assist, Dmitry Orlov, Sean Walker and Jesperi Kotkaniemi also scored and Seth Jarvis had two assists. Pyotr Kochetkov made 13 saves.

Brad Marchand and Humpus Lindholm scored, but the Bruins fell to 1-4-1 in their last six games. Jeremy Swayman was pulled after allowing six goals on 22 shots before the halfway mark.

Roslovic scored 6:28 into the match. After Marchand tied the score, the Hurricanes got quick goals from Svechnikov, Orlov and Necas, two of them on power plays.

Takeaways

Bruins: Boston had just seven shots late in the second period, while the Hurricanes at the other end fired attempts on net after already scoring six goals.

Hurricanes: Carolina eclipsed the four-goal mark for the first time this season. It is the first time this season that Carolina has had a player with more than one goal in a game.

Key moment

The Hurricanes spent much of the first period killing penalties, including time trailing 5-on-3. The penalty killing units allowed one goal before Carolina started scoring.

Key stat

The Hurricanes had scored a total of seven first-period goals in their first eight games before scoring four in the first 18 1/3 minutes on Thursday. The three goals in 52 seconds mark the second-fastest three-goal performance in franchise history after a 43-second burst in October 2006 against Tampa Bay.

Next

Boston is in Philadelphia on Saturday for a rematch of a 2-0 home loss on Tuesday night. The Hurricanes play the second of four in a row at home against Washington on Sunday.
