Teuvo Teravainen’s second period goal didn’t go down as the game winner on Friday night, but it served a similar purpose, deflating New York. It sparked a Canes’ offensive outburst that would send Vezina finalist Robin Lehner to the bench and see Carolina open up a three goal lead.
The sequence leading to Teravainen’s goal began with Teravainen on the bench.
The Isles’ defense pair of Ryan Pulock and Adam Pelech beginning their shift with 19:39 remaining in the second. A strong forechecking shift from Justin Williams and Jordan Staal wears down the Islanders’ defensemen and eventually forces an icing.
