Seth Jarvis scored the game’s first two goals, and Martin Necas scored a power play goal with just over one second remaining in the first period as the Carolina Hurricanes earned a 4-1 victory over the Islanders before a sellout crowd of 17,255 at UBS Arena.
Kyle Palmieri scored a third period goal for the Islanders, who are now winless in five games (0-4-1). The Isles are 10-9-4 under Patrick Roy and 29-24-15 overall as they fell three points behind Detroit in the Wild Card race and five points behind Philadelphia for third place in the Metropolitan.
The Isles head to Detroit for a game on Thursday before returning to UBS Arena for a pair of games this weekend.
