RALEIGH, N.C. — Teuvo Teravainen and Greg McKegg scored 66 seconds apart in the second period, and the Carolina Hurricanes beat the New York Islanders 5-2 on Friday night to complete a sweep of their Eastern Conference semifinal series. Now the Hurricanes — after winning six straight and eight of nine — have some time to heal before they face the Columbus-Boston winner. Robin Lehner started in goal, but was pulled in favour of backup Thomas Greiss after the bang-bang goals by Teravainen and McKegg early in the second period made it 3-1. Esa Lindell also scored for the Stars, who can advance with a win in Game 6 at home on Sunday. Jaden Schwartz scored and Jordan Binnington made 25 saves for the Blues, including stops on three breakaways in the first 4:08 of the second period to keep it a one-goal game at the time.
