'Deflating' penalties doom Isles in Game 4 loss to Hurricanes

ELMONT, N.Y. -- The New York Islanders were undisciplined in their crushing 5-2 Game 4 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes at home on Sunday. But when they weren't earning their trips to the penalty box, they felt the officials were finding reasons to send them there anyway.

The Islanders took four first-period penalties, while the Hurricanes had three. Coach Lane Lambert disputed two of them, both critical.

At 2:41 of the first period, forward Zach Parise was called for goalie interference after falling on Carolina goalie Antti Raanta (27 saves).
