Bailey, Nelson lift Islanders past Hurricanes
RALEIGH, N.C. — Josh Bailey celebrated his 1,000th NHL game with a big play for the New York Islanders.
Bailey snapped a tie in the second period, and the Islanders set an NHL record for successful penalty kills to begin a season in a 6-2 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night.
"The guys in here knew how much this meant to me," Bailey said. "They all stepped up and played a (great) game."
Brock Nelson had two goals in the third period for the Islanders, who won for the first time in three road games this season. Oliver Wahlstrom and Matt Martin also scored before Zach Parise added a short-handed empty-netter.
The Islanders seemed inspired by Bailey.
