RALEIGH, N.C. — After putting in five consecutive road games, the Carolina Hurricanes were back in town Friday at PNC Arena.
A sellout crowd settled in to see the Canes face the New York Islanders, most fans expecting good things, but the Islanders came away with a 6-2 victory as Brock Nelson scored twice and goalie Ilya Sorokin had 33 saves.
Canes coach Rod Brind’Amour credited the Islanders’ team game, saying, “They played I think the best game in the four years I’ve been doing it (as head coach) against them. By far the best game they’ve played.”
