One game tonight, as the Carolina Hurricanes host the New York Islanders. Jaroslav Halak and Cam Ward are the veteran goalies. New York began in the first period with a Johnny Boychuk power play goal, powered by Kyle Okposo and John Tavares. The Islanders added on with a Brock Nelson goal, assisted by Tavares and Boychuk. New York extended the lead with another Nelson goal in the second period, a power play goal via Boychuk and Tavares, the latter getting a sock trick. Carolina got on the board in the third period with a Nathan Gerbe power play goal, guided in by Justin Faulk and Andrej Sekera. The Islanders shot back with a Mikhail Grabovski goal, passed from Ryan Strome and Nelson. New York padded the lead on a Travis Hamonic goal, thanks to Nelson and Strome. The Hurricanes pulled back on a Chris Terry goal, fueled by Sekera and Riley Nash. Carolina chipped closer as Eric Staal scored a power play goal, with the help of Elias Lindholm and Jiri Tlusty. This was as close as it got, with the final being 5-3, and the three stars went to Nelson, Tavares, and Boychuk, while Sekera and Strome get the honorable mentions.
