RALEIGH, N.C. — The New York Islanders took their first lead over the Carolina Hurricanes just before the midway point of the third period Wednesday in Game 2 of the teams’ best-of-seven Stanley Cup Playoff series, converting on a Brock Nelson chance.
But the Hurricanes rallied to knot the score fewer than three minutes later when Jaccob Slavin scored from below the goal line on a wrister that grazed keeper Ilya Sorokin’s back on its way into the net.
Game 2 was headed to overtime.
