The Carolina Hurricanes went into a four-game homestead with one thought in mind: four wins and eight points.
The Canes did just that, finishing it off Saturday with a 7-4 victory over the New York Islanders before a crowd of 16,640 at PNC Arena.
Brock McGinn, coming off a two-goal game against the Buffalo Sabres, had a goal and three assists for the Hurricanes, and Elias Lindholm, Jordan Staal and Lee Stempniak each had a goal and two assists.
Justin Faulk, Brett Pesce and Teuvo Teravainen also scored for Carolina (21-15-7), which pulled one point behind the Philadelphia Flyers in the chase for the final playoff spot in the NHL’s Eastern Conference.
