The Canes scored five times in the 3rd period to rally past the Stars, 6-4, as they opened this 3-game home (for the holiday) stand in style. Sebastian Aho, Brent Burns, Shayne Gostisbehere, Martin Necas and Andrei Svechnikov each tallied in the final frame for the win. Carolina entered the third period trailing 3-1 having turned the puck over on each of Dallas' goals. The one bright spot was the penalty kill, which provided the only goal to that point as Seth Jarvis' stellar play started a breakout that he finished to tie the game at 1-1 in the 1st period. On the night, the Canes would be +3 on special teams as they scored twice on the power play and shut down the Stars three different times. Spencer Martin made 14 saves in the win. Carolina outshot the Stars 15-6 in the third period. The holiday festivities continue Wednesday against the Rangers.

The Devils scored twice on the power play and beat the Canes 4-2 in Newark. Carolina's 3-game win streak is over. Jack Roslovic and Andrei Svechnikov each scored for the Hurricanes, the latter coming just 12 seconds into the 3rd period to tie the score at 2. But, Spencer Martin misplayed a puck behind his own net and that led to Dougie Hamilton's go-ahead goal. Jesper Bratt's second goal of the game - on the power play - gave the Devils their final goal. Martin Necas assisted on the Svechnikov goal, his 20th helper of the year.

The Hurricanes scored three times in 5:54 early in the 3rd period to race away from the Flyers in a 4-1 victory. The win was Carolina's 3rd in a row and moved them back to the top of the Metropolitan Division with a 14-4-0 record. Their 28 points are 1 better than Washington (13-4-1). The Canes will play at 3rd place New Jersey (12-7-2) Thursday night in Newark. Jalen Chatfield put the Hurricanes in front just 30 seconds into the 1st period with his first goal of the season. Sebastion Aho broke a 1-1 tie at 1:03 of the 3rd with his 5th of the year. Remarkably, it was the first goal of the season for Aho at 5-on-5. Jordan Staal redirected a Dimitry Orlov shot five minutes later that found its way into the Philly net for a 3-1 score. Then Jack Roslovic's 10th goal of the season followed 55 seconds later to make it 4-1. Aho's goal was the game-winner, the 58th such goal of his career, moving him past legend Ron Francis into first place on the franchise all-time list. Staal's goal was the 23rd in his career against the Flyers, more than against any other opponent in his career. Pytor Kochetkov made 18 saves in the win, his 10th of the season.
