The Carolina Hurricanes defeated the Buffalo Sabres 1-0 in a game where the Sabres dominated the first 8 minutes but the Hurricanes took control after that. Noah Dobson scored his 11th point in 11 games for the New York Islanders as they tied the game 1-1 against the Minnesota Wild. The Hurricanes had a power-play goal by DeAngelo in the first period. The Islanders were on a power play but were penalized for too many men on the ice. The Hurricanes had nine consecutive shots on goal to end the first period.
Action now at 4-on-4. Islanders were getting the initial power play after Connor Dewar was whistled for interference, but then New York called for too many men.

First 8 or so minutes were all Sabres. Then it was a Canes storm. Too bad the Hurricanes only got the one goal. 1-0...Canes with the last 9 shots on goal of the period
Done with 20 minutes at PNC Arena. Buffalo was the better team from the jump, but two Jordan Staal-less penalty kills for Carolina completely flipped the contest. DeAngelo's power play goal broke the ice and the #Canes have been surging since. 1-0.
