The New York Islanders faced a challenging defeat in Game 2 of their series, losing 5-3 to the Carolina Hurricanes. The Islanders struggled throughout the game, managing only 12 shots on goal and 28 shot attempts compared to Carolina's 110. Islanders captain Anders Lee expressed the team's disappointment and emphasized the need for a stronger performance going forward. The game was further marked by a crucial 'no goal' video review in the third period, which did not favor the Islanders. The team's difficulties were compounded when they conceded the tying and go-ahead goals within a nine-second span. Additionally, Roy mentioned that the game turned when the team took penalties and started losing 1-on-1 battles.

#Isles Anders Lee said they just didn't get the puck out clean, which led to CAR dominating: "We didn't get the clears. It's simple. We buried our chances early when we had them, and they kept coming at us like we expected. We just weren't able to break it tonight."
#Isles captain Anders Lee on how to bounce back from this loss: "We don't have a choice. This one f***** hurts. I don't have much words for you right now on that. We're five minutes after what just happened. Right now, we're dealing with the sting."

Roy said game turned when they took the penalties. They started losing the 1-on-1 battles and they failed along the walls. #Isles
