The New York Islanders (21-20-7) fought back from an early 2-0 deficit to win their fourth straight game and defeated the Carolina Hurricanes (30-16-4) 3-2 on Saturday night in UBS Arena.

Tony DeAngelo was in, Ryan Pulock was out after one shift, Ilya Sorokin came in for Marcus Hogberg in overtime and the Islanders kept their momentum rolling with a comeback victory over the supercharged Hurricanes.

The Islanders have won eight straight Saturday games (six at home and two on the road). The Isles are 14-13-3 in their last 30 games (8-0-0 on Saturday; 6-13-3 on other days). Ten of their last fourteen wins have come on Saturday or Sunday.

The New York Islanders (21-20-7) are above NHL .500 for the first time since November 14, 2024. This season has gone so far off the rails at times that it feels like the NHL world is circling around the bones of the core that came within a game of the 2021 Stanley Cup Final.

Pageau collected two assists in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Avalanche. He helped set up both of Simon Holmstrom's third-period tallies as the Islanders broke open a 1-1 tie in the final frame. It was Pageau's first multi-point performance since Dec.

Ilya Sorokin made 23 saves for his third shutout of the season, and Simon Holmstrom broke a scoreless tie with a goal midway through the game as the Isles blanked the Philadelphia Flyers 3-0 before a crowd of 18,703 at Wells Fargo Center.

NEW YORK (AP) — Brock Nelson scored 2:03 into overtime and the New York Islanders rallied to beat the Carolina Hurricanes 3-2 on Saturday night.
