Seth Jarvis scored twice Sunday afternoon for the visiting Carolina Hurricanes, who took a commanding lead in an Eastern Conference quarterfinal series by beating the New York Islanders 5-2 in Game 4 in Elmont, N.Y.
The Hurricanes lead the best-of-seven series three games to one and can close out the Islanders in Game 5, scheduled for Tuesday night in Raleigh, N.C.
Adam Pelech and Bo Horvat scored in the third for the Islanders. Goalie Ilya Sorokin recorded 24 saves. Zach Parise and Ryan Pulock drew penalties within a 51-second span to start the 5-on-3 that led to the Hurricanes' first goal. Matt Martin was whistled for roughing MacEachern during a fracas at the buzzer to generate the power play that resulted in the Hurricanes' second goal just 1:15 into the middle period. Noesen collected another assist when he sent a no-look pass from the goal line across the crease to Necas, whose shot sailed beyond Sorokin's glove.
