The Hurricanes beat the Isles on Saturday night.
Stastny gave the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead at 7:06 of the middle period with his first goal of the season. Brady Skjei fired a shot from the point and Andrei Svechnikov got the rebound before sliding the puck over to Stastny.
Mathew Barzal and Oliver Wahlstrom had an opportunity to break the 0-0 tie shortly before Carolina opened the scoring but Kotkaniemi hustled back into the defensive zone and broke up the odd-man rush opportunity. Kotkaniemi doubled Carolina's advantage at 4:05 of the third period when he redirected Brent Burns' shot from the point past Sorokin for his third. Burns registered his fifth assist four games on the play.
