Fast start helps Carolina Hurricanes top NY Islanders

For whatever reason, put the Carolina Hurricanes and New York Islanders together and it can be goals galore.

Three days after one of those shootouts in Brooklyn, the Canes and Islanders went at it again Sunday at PNC Arena, with the Canes emerging with a 4-2 victory.

Teuvo Teravainen scored twice, and Sebastian Aho scored a goal in a fourth straight game. Goalie Cam Ward, making his fifth start of the season and the first since Nov. 10, had 27 saves against the Metropolitan Division opponent.

Elias Lindholm, used at center as Victor Rask was made a healthy scratch by Canes coach Bill Peters, also scored for the Canes, who led 3-1 after the first period and 4-1 after two on the Canes’ annual Hockey Fights Cancer night.
