Game Recap:
Carolina came out of the gate fast and furious. Taking a quick lead in the first and dictating a lot of the actions in period one. With the exception of a bad penalty in which the Islanders Devon Toews would get his first of the playoffs, it was a spotless period for the Hurricanes.
The second period saw a lot of back and forth action with each team getting a goal and a penalty. But the Islanders couldn’t find the extra gas to pull away in this one. Which played right into Carolina’s game plan.
The third period Captain clutch Justin Williams would come through and Teuvo Teravainen, along with Sebastian Aho would come through with goals of their own to make it 5-2 and a 3-0 series lead.
