Hurricanes aim for second straight win

Jan 21, 2008 - 2:54 PM Carolina (23-23-4) at NY Islanders (23-19-5) 2:00 pm EST

UNIONDALE, New York (Ticker) -- Looking to build on an impressive performance, the Carolina Hurricanes visit the New York Islanders on Monday.

The Hurricanes ended a four-game losing streak in impressive fashion Friday as they rolled to a 7-2 rout of the Edmonton Oilers.

"We needed something to make us feel better," said center Eric Staal, who scored three times in the third period. "It hasn't been good the last little while. We needed a win at home to rejuvenate everyone, get that fire in everyone's belly."

The game represented a rare combination of a potent offense and a tight defense. The Hurricanes had allowed five goals in each of their previous three games.

New York has dropped six of nine games, including Saturday's 5-3 defeat at Philadelphia. The Islanders have lost three straight at home.

The teams have split a pair of meetings, each winning on the road. The last time the teams played in Uniondale, Carolina erupted for an 8-3 victory.

The teams meet again in Carolina on Tuesday.
