ELMONT, NY -- Paul Stastny's goal at 6:01 of overtime gave the Carolina Hurricanes a 2-1 win in Game 6 and eliminated the New York Islanders on Friday night on Long Island.
The veteran forward fired the puck from a bad angle on the right side of goalie Ilya Sorokin and snuck it through. The Hurricanes also won Game 2 in overtime.
Overall, the series had seen more goals on the board from these defensively oriented teams than expected. But Game 6 was a goaltending clinic played in the trenches.
