RALEIGH — Plenty of history was made on Friday as the Carolina Hurricanes faced the New York Islanders for the first time since their date in the second round of the 2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
A fun PNC Arena atmosphere enjoyed what was a convincing win for the Canes, 5-2 over the Islanders - a win that marked a 5-0-0 start to the season, which is a new Hurricanes/Whalers franchise record.
And a little more history was made a long the way for #19.
The Hurricanes came out with a lot of pace in the first period, and they grew stronger as the frame went on.
