The Hurricanes beat the Isles on Sunday night.
Ilya Sorokin stopped 33 shots for New York, which was outshot for only the second time in its last nine games.
"We have a job to do," Carolina coach Rod Brind'Amour said."We want to finish as high as we can. That team is playing for their lives and I thought we looked like the team that was maybe a little more desperate. That says a lot about the group."Martinook, who has played in all 76 games, gave Carolina its first lead when he skated in from the blue line after taking a pass from Jaccob Slavin. His shot produced his 12th goal of the season, but the first since Feb. 1.
Sorokin played on back-to-back days for the second time since Dec. 16 and 17. Coming off Saturday's 5-0 loss at Tampa Bay when Sorokin was pulled in the second period after allowing four goals, this marked the Islanders' final set of games on consecutive days."Chances were few and far between, but we were one shot away," Islanders coach Lane Lambert said.Carolina has used three different goalies in its last three wins.
