Justin Peters continues to enjoy his stay with the Carolina Hurricanes.
The goalie made 23 saves to earn his second NHL win in as many starts in Carolina’s 5-2 victory over New Jersey on Saturday night.
Peters received offensive support from a trio of former River Rats, as rookie center Zach Boychuk scored his first NHL goal 16:47 into the game, with right wing Brandon Sutter and defenseman Brett Carson assisting on the goal.
Peters, a four-year pro, has allowed three goals in two games with Carolina and sports a 1.51 goals against average with .950 save percentage.
The 20-year-old Boychuk, on his fifth NHL recall after he was summoned by the Hurricanes on Friday, now has tallied four (1-3) points 12 games with Carolina this season.
