Staal lifts Hurricanes past Islanders 1-0 in OT in Game 1
NEW YORK — Jordan Staal got the Carolina Hurricanes off to a winning start in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Staal scored 4:04 into overtime to give the Hurricanes a 1-0 victory over the New York Islanders on Friday night in the series opener.
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.
