But the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a> turned out to be a reminder of 1995 in more ways than just their uniforms.<\/p>\n<p>A night after scoring six goals in a high-flying, end-to-end performance against the Devils, the Islanders\u2019 offense went dead against the Hurricanes in a 3-0 loss at UBS Arena. After what might have been their best victory of the year, the game Saturday just might have been their worst loss, and it knocked their record down to 17-12-0.<\/p>\n<p>Carolina won by doing what the Islanders have done to so many opponents over the past few seasons: playing with a relentless forecheck and physicality, taking advantage of a few scoring chances and dominating a low-event game. Outside of Mathew Barzal, the Islanders never managed to skate effectively, and struggled to make it through the neutral zone with alarming regularity.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Stastny\u2019s goal at 7:06 of the second period, from Andrei Svechnikov\u2019s cross-crease pass, proved to be the difference for the Hurricanes.<\/p>\n<p>The Islanders squandered a golden chance with a five-on-three that was set to go for 1:15 in the first period, when Anders Lee committed interference, essentially nullifying the advantage.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Ilya-Sorokin.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Carolina players celebrate Jordan Stahl's goal on Ilya Sorokin during the Islanders' 3-0 loss to the Hurricanes.\" class=\"wp-image-24972543\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Ilya-Sorokin.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Ilya-Sorokin.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Ilya-Sorokin.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Ilya-Sorokin.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Carolina players celebrate Jordan Stahl\u2019s goal on Ilya Sorokin during the Islanders\u2019 3-0 loss to the Hurricanes.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Corey Sipkin<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Jesperi Kotkaniemi doubled the Carolina lead early in the third period, deflecting Brent Burns\u2019 shot from the point at 4:05. And while the Islanders have so often looked equipped to come back from deficits this season and turn the tenor of games on a dime, they did not on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, the Islanders gave up a third goal instead of scoring one of their own, as Jordan Staal put away Jordan Martinook\u2019s feed at 8:49 of the third.<\/p>\n<p>The Islanders\u2019 performance was night-and-day from Friday night. Whereas that game was jammed with intensity, this one felt like air slowly being let out of a balloon. The Hurricanes made it boring \u2014 and the Islanders could not respond. Even when coach Lane Lambert turned to a top line of Lee, Barzal and Brock Nelson, the Islanders proved incapable of generating looks.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Simon-Holmstrom.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Simon Holmstrom skates with the puck during the Islanders'  loss.\" class=\"wp-image-24972550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Simon-Holmstrom.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Simon-Holmstrom.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Simon-Holmstrom.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/12\/Simon-Holmstrom.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Simon Holmstrom skates with the puck during the Islanders\u2019  loss.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">USA TODAY Sports<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>They looked disjointed when they got on the power play, and struggled to cobble together zone exits at even strength. After putting up 40 or more shots in three of their past four games, the Islanders had just 16 on Saturday. They ended up being shut out for just the third time this season, and they didn\u2019t make it all that hard on Pyotr Kochetkov in Carolina\u2019s net.<\/p>\n<p>Whether the Islanders grew tired after playing an intense game against the Devils or were simply stymied by the Hurricanes, the result was the same. Carolina didn\u2019t generate much offense either, but what it got was enough.<\/p>\n<p>Before the game, both coaches spoke about the importance of divisional games this season, with just four points separating second place from sixth in the Metropolitan Division.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s the best division in hockey,\u201d Carolina\u2019s Rod Brind\u2019Amour said. \u201cIt\u2019s gonna come down to the wire.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just tight,\u201d Lambert said. \u201cI see it as being a battle right till the bitter end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After 60 minutes of hockey, Carolina had reestablished itself in second place, with 36 points to the Islanders\u2019 34.
