Hurricanes 4, Islanders 3 (OT)

Jesper Fast scored 5:03 into overtime, and Carolina took a 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series with a victory over New York in Raleigh, N.C.

Off a cross-zone pass from Jordan Staal, Fast sent the puck past New York netminder Ilya Sorokin (33 saves) for the win. It appeared Islanders defenseman Scott Mayfield took a high stick to the face, but nothing was called, and Carolina, the East's second seed, won for the ninth time in its last 10 home playoff games.

Brock Nelson and Kyle Palmieri each had a goal with an assist for New York, which overcame a 2-0 hole, but couldn't maintain a 3-2 third-period lead. The Islanders have lost five straight playoff road games.

After his team saw a two-goal edge erased, Kostin scored the game winner at 2:20 of the third period. Draisaitl forced a turnover at center to send Kostin on a rush. He worked to the left circle and ripped a screened wrist shot just inside the far post for his first playoff goal.
