Islanders Lose 6-4 To Carolina, Swept On Back-To-Back

The New York Islanders were in need of a win in Raleigh after falling 5-3 to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday night.

They did not get it in a 6-4 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday night.

Here's how it happened:  

The Islanders found themselves down 2-0 just 4:54 in the game after allowing goals to Travis Jankowski and Logan Stankoven in 13 seconds. 

But, Pierre Engvall turned the momentum just a bit when he beat Kochetkov glove side off the rush at 6:10 of the first:

Kyle Palmieri tied the game at 2-2 on the power play, doing his best Rob Schrempy impression:

It was Engvall again who scored his second of the game to give his team a 3-2 lead at 1:37 of the third with a laser over the blocker:

The Islanders committed a cardinal sin on the power play, a four-minute one, allowing a shorthanded goal to Seth Jarvis at 17:27 of the second before Anders Lee found a way to tie the game up at 4-4 at 4:05 of the third:

But, the Hurricanes struck a tad over five minutes later with Dmitry Orlov's point shot getting through traffic at 9:19 of the third.

Jarvis added his second of the game at 17:14 of the third after he picked off an Alexander Romanov clear and had a strong give-and-go with Sebastian Aho at 17:14 of the third for the 6-4 final. 

UP NEXT: The Islanders host the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night at 7:30 PM ET.
