NEW YORK — Paul Stastny scored in the second period, Pyotr Kochetkov got his second career shutout, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New York Islanders 3-0 Saturday night to extend their point streak to seven games.
Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Jordan Staal also scored, and Kochetkov had 16 saves as Carolina improved to 5-0-2 on its current streak.
"From our standpoint, we did a lot of the things we wanted to do," veteran forward Derek Stepan said. "We executed when we had the puck on our stick and defended extremely well when we didn't.
