Game review
The Carolina Hurricanes beat the New York Islanders 5-3, with the game decided in the third period after the Islanders had erased a 2-0 deficit with three second-period goals. Carolina pulled away with two in the final period.
Brayden Schenn led New York with a goal and an assist. Andrei Svechnikov scored for Carolina, Sebastian Aho had two assists and William Carrier finished with two points. Carolina’s 39-27 shot edge, 22-13 blocked-shot advantage and 8-5 takeaway edge helped tilt the game, though the Hurricanes won only 34.4 percent of faceoffs and gave it away 23 times.
For bettors, Carolina covered the Islanders 1.5 spread by 0.5, and the total went over 6.5 by 1.5.
