Just that quickly, the Carolina Hurricanes chased New York’s goalie out of the game — and the Islanders right out of the playoffs. Carolina earned a second-round sweep of the Islanders on Friday night, beating them 5-2 after Teravainen and McKegg scored 66 seconds apart in the second period. Barzal slipped behind Jaccob Slavin and poked the rebound of Devon Towes’ shot past McElhinney for his second goal in three games. From there, though, it was all Hurricanes — who got some help from an Islanders defenceman to end their lengthy power-play drought. … Williams’ goal was his 100th career point in the playoffs.
