Hurricanes Reach Remarkable Scoring Milestone After Win Over Islanders

The Carolina Hurricanes proved they were one of the NHL’s deepest forward groups last season. That trend has continued into 2026-27. William Carrier’s goal was the difference-maker in the Hurricanes’ 5-3 win over the New York Islanders. Carrier set himself up perfectly, getting in front of Islanders goaltender Semyon Varlamov to put Carolina up 4-3, with 5:08 to go. Andrei Svechnikov and Sebastian Aho, who set a couple of milestones, were credited with assists. Jalen Chatfield then pitched in an empty-netter with less than a minute to go to increase Carolina’s lead to two goals.
