The Carolina Hurricanes looked like an absolute wagon down the stretch in 2023-24, and nothing has changed in their Eastern Conference first-round series against the New York Islanders. Fresh off a 3-2 victory on Thursday night at UBS Arena in Long Island, the Canes have a chance to eliminate the Isles in four straight. “We didn't really play our way tonight, it wasn't there,” the Russian star explained, according to the Associated Press' Vin Cherwoo. “But we take the win and run away.”
Sebastian Aho and Jordan Martinook scored the tying and go-ahead goals nine seconds apart with just over two minutes left as the Carolina Hurricanes rallied to beat the New York Islanders 5-3 in Raleigh, N.C., on Monday in Game 2 of an Eastern Conference first-round playoff series. With goalie Frederik Andersen pulled for the extra attacker, Aho tipped in Andrei Svechnikov's shot to tie the game 3-3 with 2:15 to go. Jake Guentzel added an empty-net goal with 56 seconds remaining.
