Carolina improved to 1-2-1 against Southeast Division rivals. The Lightning opened the season with a 5-1 road victory over the Hurricanes on Oct. 7. Tampa Bay had won three straight against Carolina in Raleigh by a combined score of 15-5.

Carolina’s Cam Ward (5-2-2) made 27 saves. Tampa Bay counterpart Dwayne Roloson (2-3-1) stopped 26 shots.

Carolina outshot the Lightning, 19-7, in the first period, but the game was tied, 1-1, heading into the second.

Tampa Bay took a 1-0 lead with 4:46 left when Teddy Purcell picked up the puck after Bryan Allen blocked Marc-Andre Bergeron’s shot from the high slot.

Skinner put Carolina ahead 22 seconds into the middle period, using fancy stickwork in traffic to beat Roloson stick side from the low slot. Joni Pitkanen had the only assist on Skinner’s eighth point in eight games against the Lightning.

Carolina killed off a five-on-three power play later in the period when Eric Staal and LaRose was whistled for simultaneous penalties.

Skinner pushed the Hurricanes’ lead to 3-1 on a rush at 10:38. He took Jokinen’s pass from the left circle on the right doorstep and easily beat Roloson.
