Hurricanes 1, Islanders 0

NEW YORK

Jordan Staal scored 4:04 into overtime in the opener of the Eastern Conference semifinal series. Nino Niederreiter sent a shot that caromed off the end boards and came out to the right side, where Staal quickly put it in off Robin Lehner’s left skate. Petr Mrazek stopped 31 shots for his fifth career postseason shutout as the Hurricanes won in New York just 48 hours after beating Washington on the road in two overtimes in Game 7 of the first-round series. Lehner also finished with 31 saves for New York at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
