Mathew Barzal scored his second goal of the game on a deflection 1:24 into the second overtime and the Islanders beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 in Game 4 on Saturday to avoid a sweep in their first-round playoff series.
After generating just 12 shots on goal in Game 2, the Islanders came out of the gate with more of a hunger to put pucks on net, outshooting the Hurricanes 15-9 after the first period, but were not rewarded on the scoreboard. Instead, the Islanders found themselves down 2-0 after the opening frame. “The first period wasn't as bad as the score,” Anders Lee said. The Canes struck 4:46 into the game, as Brett Burns' shot from along the boards deflected off Mike Reilly's stick and into the net.
Bo Horvat had a goal and an assist, Noah Dobson added two assists and the Islanders used a three-goal first period to propel them to a 4-2 win against the Eastern-Conference leading Rangers on Tuesday night.
