RALEIGH, N.C.—Andrei Svechnikov long dreamed of scoring his first NHL goal. Warren Foegele had two goals and an assist, Svechnikov got his first career goal to snap a tie midway through the third period, and the Hurricanes rallied to beat the New York Rangers 8-5 on Sunday. Carolina’s Andrei Svechnikov became the first player born in the 2000s to score an NHL goal on Sunday against the Rangers. Foegele followed with his second goal 47 seconds later and Teuvo Teravainen added an empty-netter to secure Carolina’s first home win under new coach Rod Brind’Amour. Vesey and Kreider scored on the Rangers’ first two shots of the game, only to have the Hurricanes battle back.
