The Islanders are going to try to avoid becoming only the fourth team in the NHL to sweep the first round only to be swept out in the second round. The last time this happened was actually in 1993 and if the Islanders are unable to figure out how to close down the Hurricanes offense or end up scoring it could be happening in 2019. What is really shocking is the fact the Islanders defense was ranked as one of the best in the league all season and now in the second round of the playoffs appear to be falling apart.

Robin Lehner shouldered the loss in the last game for the Islanders. He was the starting goalie and faced a total of 36 shots in the game. The downside is he was only able to save 33 of those shots that have been sent towards him and that was definitely something that is very upsetting for the team as he played so great during the regular season.
Curtis McElhinney was the goalie filling in for Mzarek in this game. McElhinney was great in the net with 30 shots faced in the net. He ended up saving a total of 28 of those shots and was able to really show that he is a great goalie and will be one of those players that belongs in the net on a regular basis with the way that he was able to play so well.
