The home team outshot the visitors 13-4 in the first period and 18-2 in the second. Overall, they had 40 shots on goal to 16 for New York.<\/p>\n
The Islanders were able to score on some of the few chances they had and jumped out to a 1-0 lead early in the game, but the Hurricanes had an answer.<\/p>\n
Jarvis scored his first on a semi-breakaway to tie the score midway through the period.<\/p>\n
The Islanders would score again to open the second but the Canes came on strong.<\/p>\n
Jackson Blake made it 2-2 off a nice play by Logan Stankoven, who won a battle on the boards and led Blake with a perfect pass.<\/p>\n
Later in the second, the Canes took the lead and never looked back when Jarvis and Sebastian Aho hooked up for another shorthanded goal. Jaccob Slavin created this play with a picture perfect back-handed bank pass off the side boards to Jarvis who then fed Aho.<\/p>\n

Then just 24 seconds into the third period, Jarvis roofed in a shot to make it 4-2 and the Canes just needed to hang on from there.<\/p>\n
With about a minute and a half left Anders Lee scored to make it 4-3, but Brandon Bussi made a couple of key saves to close things out for the home team.<\/p>\n
The Canes have now won three games in a row. Next up is a match in Ottawa on Easter Sunday.<\/p>\n
