Sorokin pulled, Islanders drop Game 3 as Hurricanes take commanding 3-0 series lead

Carolina Hurricanes’ Jake Guentzel celebrates with teammates after a puck shot by Dmitry Orlov got past New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin for a goal during the first period of Game 3 of an NHL hockey Stanley Cup first-round playoff series Thursday, April 25, 2024, in Elmont, N.Y. The Islanders have one foot inching toward the exit and another heading down the abyss.

Sorokin, who got his first start of the playoffs, yielded three goals on 14 shots and was pulled with 12:46 to go in the second period after Aho made it 3-1 for the visitors. In relief, Semyon Varlamov stopped all eight shots he faced, but it wasn’t enough as the Islanders could not take a page out of Carolina’s book to complete a comeback.

“We were resilient, that’s for sure,” Islanders head coach Patrick Roy said. “I thought it was a hard-fought game. There weren’t many chances on both sides. It was ap layoff game. We had a good push and we had our chances. The puck just wasn’t bouncing our way.” Engvall got the Islanders on the board 2:48 into the second period, depositing a chance on the doorstep from a pass behind the goal line by Anders Lee.

He stopped all five shots he faced in the second period while Nelson brought the Islanders to within one with 2:21 to go. Ryan Pulock’s shot from the point was tipped in front by Palmieri right into the path of Nelson at the right post to stuff it home.
