The Islanders will look to crawl out of a 2-0 hole as the first round NHL Playoff series shifts to New York with the Hurricanes in total control.
For more than a moment, it looked as if New York would win Game 2, thereby stealing home-ice advantage from Carolina. But a 3-0 lead evaporated, with the Hurricanes mounting a furious rally; they took a 4-3 lead with 2:06 to go en route to a 5-3 victory.
