Goals from Brent Burns, Dmitry Orlov and Sebastian Aho gave the Hurricanes a 3-2 win over the Islanders in Game 3.
The right winger, playing on Jordan Staal’s line, scored a momentum-swinging goal that helped spur Carolina’s 5-3 playoff win over the Islanders in Game 2.
The Carolina Hurricanes were down big at home in the NHL playoffs, playing desperate hockey full of withering long shifts in the offensive zone as they tried to rally. Aho scored the tying goal late in the third period, followed by Martinook with the winner 9 seconds later as the Hurricanes beat the New York Islanders 5-3 on Monday night, turning a three-goal deficit into a 2-0 lead in their first-round playoff series in unlikely fashion. “It was a special night for sure,” Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour said.
