K’Andre Miller scored two goals and added an assist while Seth Jarvis, in his first game back from an injury, provided a goal and an assist as the Carolina Hurricanes blew past the Dallas Stars for a 6-3 victory Tuesday night at Raleigh, N.C.

Shayne Gostisbehere, Logan Stankoven and William Carrier netted Carolina’s other goals, while Andrei Svechnikov supplied four assists and Nikolaj Ehlers had three assists. Brandon Bussi made 20 saves to improve his record to 15-2-1.

Jason Robertson, Mikko Rantanen, who played briefly for the Hurricanes last season, and Wyatt Johnston scored the Stars’ goals, but Dallas’ slump extended to a season-worst six consecutive losses. Robertson added two assists for a three-point night and Rantanen contributed an assist.

Starting goalie Jake Oettinger gave up five goals on 15 shots before he was replaced by Casey DeSmith, who stopped 16 shots.

Jarvis, a forward who missed eight games, posted his team-high 20th goal on a second-period power play.

Miller, a defenseman who entered the night with two goals this season, opened the scoring at 7:19 of the first period before Robertson was credited with a power-play goal on a Bussi misplay.

Gostisbehere converted on a power play and Stankoven, facing his former team, scored with 1:04 left in the first period as Carolina built a 3-1 lead.

Miller’s second goal came 5:17 into the second and Jarvis’ goal transpired less than two minutes later.

Rantanen, who was extremely unpopular with the Carolina crowd, scored 36 seconds into the third period to cut Dallas’ deficit to 5-2.

Carrier equalized Rantanen’s marker before Johnston posted the last goal on a power play with 1:49 to play.

The Stars, beginning a stretch of six straight road games, struggled so much in the early stages that there was a stretch of more than 16 minutes when they didn’t put a shot on goal.

The Hurricanes have won two in a row since suffering three consecutive losses in regulation for the first time this season.
