RALEIGH, N.C. -- Kyle Palmieri scored with 14.1 seconds remaining in a wild final minute to lift the New York Islanders to a 2-1 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Friday night.
Ilya Sorokin needed only 19 saves to pick up the victory, though he was less than a minute away from matching a franchise record for shutouts in a season.
But Vincent Trocheck's goal with 56.8 seconds to play tied it for Carolina.
Still, the Islanders won for the fifth time in their last six games - thanks to Palmieri's clutch goal.
