Warren Foegele and Nino Niederreiter scored 48 seconds apart early in the third period to rally the Carolina Hurricanes to a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Sunday and a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Curtis McElhinney makes a save as New York Islanders left wing Matt Martin attacks during the second period of Game 2 of an NHL hockey second-round playoff series, Sunday, April 28, 2019, in New York. NEW YORK -- Outplayed for much of the first two periods while losing players to injuries, the Carolina Hurricanes scored two quick goals early in the third period and held on for another big road victory.
The Hurricanes opened the first round with losses at Washington, before evening the series at home. They then lost Game 5 on the road before tying it at home again and then winning a marathon Game 7 on the Capitals' ice in two overtimes to advance. Mathew Barzal scored and Robin Lehner made with 16 saves for the Islanders. New York, which had home-ice advantage in a seven-game series for the 15th time, has opened with two losses for the first time.
Niederreiter, who began his career with the Islanders and had an assist on Jordan Staal's winner in OT in Game 1, put the Hurricanes ahead when he redirected a shot by Teuvo Teravainen for his first of the playoffs at 1:05. The Hurricanes had a two-man advantage for 1:25 early in the second after Eberle and Scott Mayfield were both called for slashing penalties, but couldn't get any shots on goal during the 5-on-3.
