The Islanders scored the fastest four goals in NHL playoff history in their 5-1 win over the Hurricanes to take Game 3.

The NHL's all-time hits leader is still playing the same style after all these years.

"I think it’s more of an execution problem,” Cal Clutterbuck said of what the Islanders need to shift their focus on at the halfway point.

Goalie Ilya Sorokin has been inconsistent lately. Now his backup Varlamov who is 4-0-1 in his last five starts appears injured.

The Islanders' 3.56 goals per 60 during five-on-five is tops in the league — and they've done it without much success on the power play.

In the past week the Islanders have indeed been growing, putting some of their earlier issues swiftly behind them.

Parise’s deal is for one year while Clutterbuck’s is for two, general manager Lou Lamoriello said.

After Clutterbuck had surgery in December to repair a tendon in his wrist, two other Islanders have gone down with gruesome skate cuts.

The players' choice for "best chirper" was the closest to a unanimous vote of any of the Islanders polls this week.
