RALEIGH, N.C. — Dmitry Orlov scored twice, and the Carolina Hurricanes extended their winning streak to six games with a 4-2 victory against the Washington Capitals at Lenovo Center on Sunday.

Martin Necas had a goal and two assists, and Pyotr Kochetkov made 20 saves for the Hurricanes (8-2-0), who have won eight of their past nine.

Alex Ovechkin scored in his fourth straight game, and Brandon Duhaime also scored for the Capitals (8-3-0), who had won three in a row and were coming off a 7-2 win against the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday. Charlie Lindgren made 40 saves.

Orlov gave Carolina a 1-0 lead at 14:01 of the first period, scoring on a wrist shot past Lindgren’s glove.

Ovechkin tied it 1-1 at 19:16 on the power play with a one-timer off a pass from John Carlson in the left face-off circle during a 5-on-3.

Ovechkin now has 860 career goals, 34 behind Wayne Gretsky’s NHL record of 894.
