Martin Necas scored the go-ahead goal on the power play with 2:07 remaining and Sebastian Aho had a goal and three assists as the Carolina Hurricanes scored five times in the third period to rally for a 6-4 victory over the Dallas Stars on Monday night in Raleigh, N.C.

Necas fired a crossing pass from the left circle into the low slot that caromed sharply off the skate of Dallas defenseman Ilya Lyubushkin and past goaltender Jake Oettinger for what proved to be the game-winner for Carolina, which trailed 3-1 entering the final period. Andrei Svechnikov then sealed the win with an empty-netter with 14.5 seconds left.

Seth Jarvis had a shorthanded goal and two assists, Necas and Shayne Gostisbehere each had a goal and an assist and Brent Burns also scored for Carolina, which extended its home win streak to eight games. Spencer Martin stopped 15 of 19 shots to pick up his second win.

Mason Marchment, Tyler Seguin and Miro Heiskanen each had a goal and an assist, Matt Duchene had two assists and Thomas Harley also scored for Dallas, which had a two-game win streak snapped. Oettinger finished with 28 saves.

Seguin needed just 18 seconds to give the Stars a 1-0 lead when he tapped in a Marchment feed for his eighth goal, tied for the second-fastest opening-goal of the season behind only Nathan Walker’s 11-second score for St. Louis.

Jarvis tied it with a shorthanded goal at the 6:36 mark but Harley put Dallas back in front midway through the period with his second goal. Marchment extended the Dallas lead to 3-1 halfway through the second period with his seventh goal.

Carolina rallied to take a 4-3 lead with goals by Aho, Burns and Gostisbehere in the first 8:09 of the third period. Heiskanen tied it with 5:16 left when he roofed a wrist shot past Martin’s blocker side from the left circle for his fourth goal.

Wyatt Johnston’s high-sticking penalty with 2:25 left set up Necas’ go-ahead tally.
