The 25-year-old Russian netminder improved his record to start the 2026-27 campaign, turning aside shots to preserve the victory before celebrating with teammates at center ice.
The Hurricanes' win came in front of the home crowd at their newly named arena, with the Blue Jackets pushing until the final buzzer but unable to find the equalizer.
