Jalen Chatfield scored the go-ahead goal with 2:39 remaining to help the Carolina Hurricanes rally past the visiting San Jose Sharks 3-2 on Tuesday in Raleigh, N.C.

Defensemen Shayne Gostisbehere and Brent Burns also scored for the Hurricanes, who trailed 2-1 entering the third period.

Burns evened the score at 4:11 in the third on his second goal of the season before Chatfield followed with his third goal of the campaign, directing the puck to the ice with his glove and blasting a shot that skipped off a San Jose player for an unassisted tally.

Pyotr Kochetkov made 21 saves as Carolina won for only the second time in its last six games (2-4-0).

Luke Kunin scored both goals for the Sharks in their third straight loss. Vitek Vanecek made 25 saves.

The teams combined to go 0-for-7 on power plays, with the Hurricanes failing four times.

San Jose, making its fifth stop on a six-game road trip, was outshot 28-23 and didn't generate a quality scoring chance in the third period until the final 90 seconds.

Martin Necas, who entered Tuesday as the NHL's co-leader in points (42), supplied the secondary assist on Burns' goal.

Gostisbehere delivered an early jolt for the Hurricanes in the opener of a four-game homestand, notching his sixth goal of the season for a 1-0 lead 4:26 into the game.

Kunin netted his seventh and eighth scores within about a 12-minute stretch of game time. His first goal tied the game with 1:09 left in the first period and his second gave the Sharks the lead at 11:44 of the middle stanza.

San Jose had managed just one goal in regulation in each of its past three games.

Sebastian Aho had the primary assist on Burns' tying goal. Carolina's Seth Jarvis fired a shot off the post about three minutes after Burns' tally.
