Canes roar past Devils with 4-goal 3rd, 5-2.

The Canes fell behind twice, but scored the final four goals of the game and beat the Devils, 5-2.  Sebastian Aho's 12th goal of the season drew Carolina even at 2-2 early in the 3rd period and then Jackson Blake's 8th of the year put the Hurricanes ahead to stay.  The Aho marker came just 51 seconds after Ondrej Palat put New Jersey on top 2-1, but Aho's shot went off Jake Allen and into the net to level the game.  Blake's goal, a deflection of a Jesperi Kotkaniemi wrist shot, came near the end of a major penalty given to Devils forward Timo Meier who was ruled to have gone knee to knee on Martin Necas.  Meier was given a 5-minute major and a game misconduct and Necas, who needed to be helped off the ice, was able to return.  Jack Roslovic closed out the scoring with his 15th and 16th goals of the year.  The latter into an empty net.  Dustin Tokarski steered aside 21 shots for his second win in 3 starts for the Hurricanes.
