Andrei Svechnikov and Mark Jankowski scored twice apiece Saturday as the Carolina Hurricanes beat the Seattle Kraken 5-1 in Helsinki to sweep their two-game NHL Global Series set.

Jackson Blake opened the scoring on a first-period power play after Finland native Sebastian Aho fed him with a backhand pass between his legs. Blake extended his point streak to 11 games. Nikolaj Ehlers had three assists and Pyotr Kochetkov made 12 saves.

Matty Beniers scored Seattle’s only goal. The Hurricanes went 3 for 5 on the power play and won their fourth straight game. They beat the Kraken 4-1 in the series opener Thursday.
