Sebastian Aho scored in the shootout's sixth round as the Carolina Hurricanes won their third straight game, beating the host Tampa Bay Lightning 4-3 on Thursday.

After Carolina goalie Frederik Andersen stopped Corey Perry in the top of the sixth, Aho deked right on Andrei Vasilevskiy and tucked home the winning tally on the left side.

Carolina's Martin Necas scored his sixth goal, with an assist from Brent Burns -- giving each five-game point streaks. Seth Jarvis and Brady Skjei also found the net, and Andersen posted 23 saves.

Defenseman Calvin de Haan, who had been out due to an undisclosed injury, logged 12:03 of ice time in his first game since Oct. 22 as Carolina won for just the fourth time in the past 17 games in Tampa (4-8-5).

The Lightning's Nikita Kucherov stretched his goal streak to five games and points streak to nine. Ross Colton and Nicholas Paul scored. Vasilevskiy had a busy night, making 52 saves as his club lost for the first time in four games.

Tampa Bay played its second straight game without defenseman Victor Hedman (upper body).

Carolina won the first of three meetings this season and the only one in Florida.

Jarvis ripped a wrister from the left circle past Vasilevskiy as the first power play ended to open the scoring. His third goal of the season came at 8:29 of the first period on an assist from Paul Stastny.

The Lightning watched Carolina outshoot them 15-8 in the period -- equaling the entire shot total Tuesday by Ottawa in Tampa Bay's 4-3 victory over the Senators.

The Lightning, who went 1-for-8 on the power play on Tuesday, appeared to tally on the first of double-minor penalties by Carolina's Jalen Chatfield in the second period. However, Vladislav Namestnikov had his goal overturned for using a kicking motion.

Colton put his club on the board at 5:50 of the middle period when he redirected Mikhail Sergachev's point shot. Colton's power-play goal -- his third marker thus far -- tied the game at 1.

After leading a quick two-on-two rush, Paul put the Lightning up 2-1 from in close at 9:19, blading in a pass from Steven Stamkos. Necas' power-play goal nearly five minutes later evened the game at 2.

On a full five-on-three power play, Kucherov whipped in the go-ahead marker with one minute remaining in the frame.

In the third, Skjei took advantage of a turnover and buried his second goal, a short-handed tally at 13:34.
