For the second game in a row, Saturday night at Belmont the New York Islanders built a 3-0 lead that did not quite reflect their substandard performance. This time around, however, their luck did not last and their considerably better opponent wasn’t having it.
Starting 32 seconds after the Isles’ third goal at 7:46 of the second period, the Carolina Hurricanes chipped away at the Islanders lead, tied it on a power play late in regulation and scored the 4-3 winner in OT after a Canes “sure that’s a pick but we don’t call those” set up a smooth five-hole finish by Sebastian Aho The Lesser.
