Brent Burns, Dmitry Orlov help Hurricanes hold on to beat Islanders 3
NEW YORK (AP) — The Carolina Hurricanes didn’t think they played their best in Game 3 against the New York Islanders. They did enough to move a win away from advancing to the second round.
Defensemen Brent Burns and Dmitry Orlov got the Hurricanes off to a fast start and they held on to beat the Islanders 3-2 on Thursday night for a 3-0 series lead.
Sebastian Aho also scored for the Hurricanes and Andrei Svechnikov had two assists. Frederik Andersen stopped 29 shots. Carolina won for eighth time in nine games at UBS Arena, which opened for the 2021-22 season.
“We didn’t really play our way tonight, it wasn’t there,” Svechnikov said. “But we take the win and run away.”
Brock Nelson and Pierre Engvall scored for the Islanders. They are a loss away from being eliminated by Carolina in the first round for the second straight year.
Ilya Sorokin, getting the start after Semyon Varlamov went in the first two games, was pulled in the second period after giving up three goals on 14 shots. Varlamov came on and stopped all eight shots he faced.
