Rookie Seth Jarvis scored the go-ahead goal against his hometown team with 11:39 to play as the Carolina Hurricanes defeated the visiting Winnipeg Jets 4-2 on Thursday night at Raleigh, N.C.

Jaccob Slavin and Jordan Staal (empty-net goal) also scored in the third period to help Carolina complete a comeback from a 2-0 deficit.

Teuvo Teravainen notched the Hurricanes’ first goal. Hurricanes goalie Antti Raanta made 20 saves.

Pierre-Luc Dubois and Kyle Connor scored in the first period for Winnipeg. Goalie Eric Comrie stopped 42 shots.

The Jets are changing the look of the Metropolitan Division this week. They lost 3-0 Tuesday night on the road against the New York Rangers (51-21-6, 108 points), who remained tied with Carolina (50-20-8, 108 points) after beating the New York Islanders on Thursday.

The Jets (35-32-11, 81 points) finished a six-game road trip with four straight losses to teams that have already qualified for the playoffs.

Connor opened the scoring with his team-leading 44th goal just 7:10 into the game. Dubois assisted on the goal, skating behind the net and sending a pass to Connor, who was waiting in front of the net.

With 1:05 remaining in the opening period, Dubois posted his 27th goal of the season. His shot from the left side went through the legs of Carolina defenseman Brett Pesce.

Teravainen broke through for the Hurricanes on a 4-on-3 power play with 30 seconds left in the second period. The goal came on the team’s 33rd shot on net. Sebastian Aho’s assist gave him 42 for the season, breaking a tie with Teravainen for the team lead before Teravainen pulled even with an assist on Jarvis’ goal.

Teravainen became the fifth Hurricane this season to reach the 20-goal mark, something that hasn’t happened for Carolina in 15 years.

Carolina held a 34-17 edge in shots through two periods.

Staal, the captain, was back on the ice after a one-game absence stemming from a hit he absorbed Saturday night at Colorado.

The Jets were trying to earn a split of the season series with Carolina, but were unable to avenge a 4-2 loss in December at home.

Jake Guentzel had a hat trick to reach 40 goals and goaltender Casey DeSmith stopped all 52 shots he faced Thursday to lead the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 4-0 win over the visiting Boston Bruins.

It was DeSmith’s ninth career shutout, his third of the season and his first against Boston.

The game was an equalizer after the Bruins beat the Penguins 2-1 Saturday in Boston.

It also helped Pittsburgh (44-23-11, 99 points) in its quest to avoid falling into a wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference, while it was a blow to the Bruins (47-25-5, 99 points) in their attempt to climb up from a wild-card position.

Jason Zucker also scored for the Penguins, who had lost nine of 13 (4-7-2) entering the night.

DeSmith, filling in while No. 1 goalie Tristan Jarry deals with what is believed to be a broken right foot, set a career high in saves. According to the Penguins, his save total was a franchise record for a shutout.

The Bruins had their two-game winning streak snapped.

Boston goaltender Jeremy Swayman made 28 saves.

Guentzel opened the scoring at 7:49 of the first. Off a pass from Sidney Crosby, he used a backhand-to-forehand move to get around defending forward Charlie Coyle and shot the puck between Swayman’s pads to make it 1-0.

Boston came out with a flourish in the second and built an 10-0 shot advantage, but the next shot belonged to Pittsburgh, and it was a goal.

Off a touch pass at center ice from Jeff Carter, Zucker got a short breakaway and flipped the puck over Swayman’s glove for a 2-0 Penguins lead at 6:10.

Guentzel struck again at 16:12 of the second. Kris Letang, from the bottom of the left circle, wove a pass across to Guentzel in the bottom of the opposite circle. Guentzel scored on a shot inside the near post to make it 3-0.

Guentzel completed his fifth career hat trick with an empty-netter with 2:05 left in regulation. It gave him 40 goals for the second time in his career.

Rasmus Dahlin had a goal and an assist to help the visiting Buffalo Sabres to a 5-2 win against the New Jersey Devils on Thursday.

Owen Power scored his first NHL goal, Victor Olofsson had three assists and Tage Thompson had two assists for the Sabres (30-38-11, 71 points), who have won three in a row. Craig Anderson made 29 saves.

Jesper Boqvist and Nikita Okhotiuk scored and Andrew Hammond made 23 saves for the Devils (27-43-7, 61 points).

Kyle Okposo opened the scoring with a short-handed tally at 11:53 of the second period when he took a pass from Dahlin and shot from just outside the Devils’ blue line, a long-range shot that went under Hammond’s glove.

Alex Tuch doubled the lead with the Sabres’ second short-handed marker on the same penalty just over a minute later. Olofsson stole the puck in the defensive zone and skated down the ice for a chance that was saved by Hammond, but Tuch was there for the rebound, backhanding it five-hole to make it 2-0 at 12:40.

Dahlin pushed it to 3-0 at 17:58. Olofsson sent a pass through Tomas Tatar’s legs to an uncovered Dahlin in the right circle for a one-timer, with his shot hitting Devils forward Dawson Mercer and redirecting into the net.

Boqvist got the home side on the board with eight seconds remaining in the second period. Anderson made a pad save on a chance in tight but Boqvist stayed on the puck, poking it by the goalie’s skate at the doorstep to cut it to 3-1.

Okhotiuk scored his first NHL goal in his first NHL game. He stepped into a rebound and fired from the left circle to narrow it to 3-2 at 4:59 of the third period.

Power, the 2021 first overall draft pick, took a feed from a fallen Jeff Skinner and drove the net, beating Hammond through the legs for his first goal to make it 4-2 Buffalo at 8:33.

Skinner scored off the rush to make it 5-2 at 16:03.

Mason Marchment had a goal and an assist as the Florida Panthers clinched the Atlantic Division title and the best record in the Eastern Conference with a 5-2 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Thursday in Sunrise, Fla.

The Panthers extended their winning streak to a franchise-record-tying 12 games, matching a run from Dec. 15, 2015, to Jan. 10, 2016. Their last loss was a 5-2 setback on March 27 in Toronto against the Maple Leafs, whom they host Saturday.

Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart netted power-play goals, and Noel Acciari and MacKenzie Weegar scored for the Panthers (56-15-6, 118 points), who won for the 10th consecutive time at home where they are an NHL-best 33-6-0.

Jonathan Huberdeau’s two assists evened him with Edmonton’s Connor McDavid for the league lead with 113 points.

Florida’s 322 goals this season are the most by a team in the past 25 years, eclipsing Tampa Bay’s 319 in 2018-19.

Sergei Bobrovsky made 28 saves for his 38th triumph to tie Nashville’s Juuse Saros for the NHL lead.

The Red Wings (30-38-10, 70 points) got goals from Sam Gagner and Tyler Bertuzzi and two assists from Pius Suter.

After losing 6-1 to Florida Sunday in Detroit, Alex Nedeljkovic surrendered five goals on 27 shots.

Detroit started fast with Gagner’s wrister from the slot at 4:08 for his 13th tally, but Acciari — scratched in the last 10 games — tied it at 9:19 with his second goal.

Five minutes after Reinhart swept Adam Erne’s close shot away from the goal line, Florida’s sixth-ranked power play capitalized on its first chance when Barkov rifled home his 38th tally.

With 21 seconds remaining in the first period, Marchment was credited with his 17th marker after Detroit’s Lucas Raymond got his stick on the puck on a rush that stalled in front of Nedeljkovic.

In the second, Bertuzzi notched a spinning goal when he fired one in at 6:15 to make it 3-2. With 28 goals, the left wing is Detroit’s active leader with Dylan Larkin (31 goals) out for the season.

But Florida held the territorial edge after Bertuzzi scored, cycling the puck in the offensive end and pushing it to 4-2 when Marchment won a board battle and fed Weegar for his eighth at 16:05.

Reinhart added his 29th tally on the power play in the final period to round out the scoring.

The Canadiens came out strong on offense to open the third and had several strong scoring chances in the first six minutes. Evans had a stellar slap shot saved by Jones at 5:12.

Montreal’s Tyler Pitlick nearly scored short-handed at 13:11, but his shot clanged off the crossbar. It was one of several solid chances throughout the game for the Canadiens while playing short-handed.

The Flyers then moved out to a 5-2 lead when Frost scored at 15:36.

Just 1:20 later, van Riemsdyk produced his second goal for a commanding 6-2 advantage.
