The most concerning aspect about the New York Islanders 2-0 series deficit against the Carolina Hurricanes is that they’ve only scored one goal in the two games. The lone goal was scored by Mathew Barzal on the power play in game two. And even that was a bit of a fluke as it deflected in off a defender’s stick.
The Islanders were shutout in game one and lost in overtime. Barzal got the Islanders on the board in game two, but they wouldn’t be able to get a second goal. The Hurricanes scored two goals in 48 seconds to start the third, and that would be all they needed.
