RALEIGH, N.C. — Sebastian Aho scored for the Hurricanes.

It took a bad bounce, then got past Ilya Sorokin to give Carolina a 2-0 lead.
It was a worst-case scenario for the Islanders, who were on their way to killing off the penalty, and a bizarre coincidence in the first ever series featuring two players with the same first and last name.
