"Scott Mayfield expressed frustration, stating, 'You can't drop games like this. We haven't lost four in a row all season and it's not a good week to do that.'"
"The turning point came late in the second period when a breakdown allowed Sebastian Aho to score a short-handed goal, flipping the game and handing Carolina a 3-2 lead."
"Ilya Sorokin, appearing in his 11th straight game, did what he could to keep the Isles in the game, stopping 36 shots, but was left with too much to overcome."
"Anders Lee gave the Islanders life late, scoring with 1:37 remaining and the extra attacker on, cutting the deficit to one, but they couldn't find the tying goal."
