Canes get out the brooms, sweep Islanders with 5-2 victory in Game 4 Globe_Sports
Carolina Hurricanes left winger Teuvo Teravainen is congratulated by linemate Warren Foegele after his second-period goal. The Canes swept the Islanders with a 5-2 victory.Teuvo Teravainen and Greg McKegg scored 66 seconds apart in the second period, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New York Islanders 5-2 on Friday night to sweep their second-round series.
The Hurricanes — who went a decade between playoff berths — earned the first four-game sweep in franchise history and have reached the Eastern Conference final in each of their last four post-season appearances since 2002. They’re also unbeaten in five home playoff games.Now the Hurricanes — after winning six straight and eight of nine — have some time to heal before they face the Columbus-Boston winner.
They kept the identity of their starting goalie a secret until warmups — when Robin Lehner led them onto the ice for the fourth straight game in the series.Coach Barry Trotz pulled him in favour of backup Thomas Greiss after the bang-bang goals by Teravainen and McKegg early in the second period. Greiss wasn’t much better against the relentless Hurricanes, with Williams scoring their third goal of the period off a give-and-go from Nino Niederreiter at 8:51 and Svechnikov riling up the rowdy Caniacs with his goal with 4:47 left.Lehner and Greiss each finished with eight saves for the Islanders. Their counterpart — McElhinney — wouldn’t let them make this a game again, stopping Josh Bailey from point-blank range with about 10 1/2 minutes remaining.
