It’s going to be primarily the case for the remainder of the regular season and tonight is no different as the Canes play host to the New York Islanders.<\/p>\n

Carolina is coming off of a two-game winning streak, defeating the Columbus Blue Jackets in consecutive games.<\/p>\n

New York has lost three in a row as they barely cling on to a playoff spot.<\/p>\n

They’ve been running goaltender Ilya Sorokin hard and they may just go to him again despite being on a back-to-back.<\/p>\n

Sebastian Aho (5a) has points in four straight games.<\/p>\n

Andrei Svechnikov (3g, 1a) has goals in three straight games.<\/p>\n
