RALEIGH, N.C. — Josh Bailey celebrated his 1,000th NHL game with a big play for the New York Islanders.
Bailey snapped a tie in the second period, and the Islanders set an NHL record for successful penalty kills to begin a season in a 6-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night.
"The guys in here knew how much this meant to me," Bailey said. "They all stepped up and played a (great) game."
Brock Nelson had two goals in the third period for the Islanders, who won for the first time in three road games this season.
