Andrei Svechnikov, Jack Drury and Dmitry Orlov also scored for the Hurricanes, who are 4-1-0 on their six-game trip that wraps up Monday in Vancouver. Goaltender Frederik Andersen made 18 saves.
Jared McCann scored the lone goal for Seattle, which went 2-2-1 on its five-game homestand after winning its first two. Joey Daccord stopped 35 of 38 shots.
Trailing 2-0 after two periods, the Kraken finally broke through as McCann scored on a breakaway at 10:21 of the third period after taking a pass from Matty Beniers.
Andersen stopped Seattle’s Eeli Tolvanen, who skated down the right wing and cut toward the net, with 8:45 remaining to maintain the one-goal lead.
Jarvis lifted a backhander over Daccord on a breakaway at 15:38 of the third to make it 3-1. Orlov clinched the victory with an empty-netter at 18:24.
The Hurricanes opened the scoring at 4:25 of the first period on the power play. Svechnikov took a cross-slot pass from Martin Necas and lifted the puck over a sprawling Daccord from the bottom of the left faceoff circle. The goal came after Seattle defenseman Brandon Montour was whistled for roughing against Jordan Martinook.
Drury scored at 16:49 of the second period on two-on-one rush following a scramble in front of the Carolina net. Brent Burns’ stretch pass sent rookie Jackson Blake down the right wing and he sent a pass to Drury at the far post for a tap-in.
Andersen stopped a short-handed breakaway by Chandler Stephenson with five seconds remaining in the second period.
Seattle coach Dan Bylsma shuffled all of his lines except for the first one — consisting of McCann, Beniers and Jordan Eberle — after a 4-3 overtime loss to Winnipeg on Thursday.

Mandatory Credit: Colin Hubbard-Imagn Images The Atlanta Braves reinstated star outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. from the 10-day injured list ahead of Monday’s series opener against the host New York Mets.
The five-time All-Star is batting .251 with seven homers, 22 RBIs and 15 stolen bases in 53 games during an injury-plagued campaign.
Acuna, 28, has not played with the Braves since June 9 due to a left hamstring strain, the same injury that kept him out for more than two weeks in May.
The 2023 National League MVP, Acuna is a career .287 hitter with 193 homers, 481 RBIs and 220 steals in 870 games since making his debut with Atlanta in 2018.
The Braves optioned outfielder Brewer Hicklen, 30, to Triple-A Gwinnett in a corresponding move. He batted .368 (7-for-19) with four doubles and three RBIs in eight games.

Report: NBA to max out LeBron James, 76ers' national TV games
May 11, 2026; Los Angeles, California, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23) during the second half in game four of the second round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs at Crypto.com Arena. Mandatory Credit: Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images Fans itching to watch LeBron James play in his new Philadelphia uniform should get plenty of opportunities this season as the 76ers are expected to get the NBA’s maximum of 34 national game telecasts/streams, Front Office Sports reported Monday.
That would more than double the 14 national games the Sixers were featured in last season, when the team led by Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey finished in a disappointing seventh place in the Eastern Conference at 45-37.
Now that the 41-year-old James has signed a two-year, $8 million contract to play in Philly, viewers can expect to see him featured prominently during tentpole league events like opening week and Christmas Day’s five-game slate.
NBA commissioner Adam Silver said on July 16 he was awaiting James’ decision before finalizing the schedule for the telecasts/streams across Disney’s ABC/ESPN, NBCUniversal’s NBC Sports/Peacock, and Amazon’s Prime Video. The league receives input from these partners before making the final schedule.
Four teams received the maximum 34 national games last season: the eventual NBA champion New York Knicks, who play in the league’s biggest market; the Los Angeles Lakers in the No. 2 market; the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder; and four-time champion Steph Curry’s Golden State Warriors.
