RALEIGH, N.C. — Anders Lee had a goal and two assists to lead the New York Islanders to a 5-4 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night.
Ilya Sorokin stopped 36 shots for the Islanders, who head into the Christmas break with at least a point in 11 of their past 12 games.
"Any time you go into a break you want to be feeling good," said Lee, the Islanders' captain. "To get two points going into the break, get a few days rest and enjoy some family time is really nice.
