The Carolina Hurricanes will welcome the New York Islanders to PNC Arena for an NHL game on Tuesday. The Carolina Hurricanes won 2-5 in their last game over the Islanders. Winning a playoff game on the road for the first time in nearly two years meant very little to the Carolina Hurricanes. The important thing was they won and moved closer to advancing in their first-round series with the New York Islanders. Seth Jarvis scored twice and the Canes snapped an eight-game postseason road losing streak with a 5-2 victory Sunday, pushing the Islanders to the brink of elimination.
“It means we got a win and we’re up 3-1 in the series,” said Canes star forward Sebastian Aho, who added a goal and two assists. “We’re just trying to advance to the next round obviously. It takes four wins and we got one more to go and today was the big one.” “It’s nice to win one not on home ice,” said the 21-year-old who joined the team last year and didn’t win an away contest. “It only helps us. It’s not good when you can’t win on the road and we win at home. It’s nice to take one here and we can go home to Carolina and hopefully end it.”
Antti Raanta made 27 saves in helping the Canes post their first postseason road victory since the second round in 2021. Martin Necas and Mackenzie MacEachern also scored and Stefan Noesen had the primary assist on two power-play goals for the Hurricanes. “I think it’s the first time we scored more than two goals in the streak,” Raanta added.
The New York Islanders on the other hand lost 2-5 against the Hurricanes in their last game. Defenseman Adam Pelech and forward Bo Horvat scored for the Islanders, who trailed 4-0 early in the third period. Ilya Sorokin made 24 saves, but he had little help on the goals. New York showed very little and took a couple of bad penalties. Despite frantic game-long chants of “Let’s Go Islanders” they struggled as they were booed off the ice trailing 3-0 after two periods.
Jarvis extended the lead to 4-0 early in the third, scoring on a 2-on-1 break with Aho. “It’s easy to play with a guy like that,” Jarvis said. “We had a good start,” Islanders veteran forward Zach Parise said. “They had the five-on-three right away and they capitalized. It’s deflating.” Coach Lane Lambert said the Islanders approach will not change.
“Same mindset as we always have,” said Lambert, who was not thrilled with some of his team’s undisciplined penalties as well as some calls by the officials. “Same as you say after every game, win or lose. Get ready for the next game.” Aho’s record-setting goal came on a 2-on-1 break with MacEachern, who was recalled from the minors after Teuvo Tervainen broke his hand in Game 2. Pelech scored a couple of minutes after Jarvis got his second and Horvat tallied late on a breakaway.
