Warren Foegele and Nino Niederreiter scored 48 seconds apart to rally the Hurricanes to a 2-1 victory over the New York Islanders on Sunday and a 2-0 series lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals. Now, after winning two in New York, they’re heading home with the series lead and a chance at a sweep if they can win the next two. Trailing 1-0 after two periods, the Hurricanes took the lead early in the third. Devon Toews appeared to double the Islanders’ lead with 15 seconds to go in the second after the rebound of his backhander went in off his skate. Barzal gave the Islanders a 1-0 lead with his first career playoff goal, a power-play score with 6:43 left in the opening period.
