The Islanders’ losing streak continues and this one came to a team trying to knock them out of a playoff spot.
Vincent Trocheck’s video-reviewed power-play goal at 1:36 of overtime gave the Hurricanes a 3-2 win on Saturday afternoon at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum.
Mathew Barzal negated an Islanders’ power play with a four-minute high sticking infraction in the final seconds of the third period.
The Islanders (35-23-9) are in a six-game (0-3-3) slide as they start a four-game road trip in Vancouver on Tuesday night.
