The Hurricanes finished off a solid week with a 5-3 win over a good New York Islanders team yesterday. They had beaten the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 and the Washington Capitals 3-0 earlier in the week.
The five goals against the Islanders represents an offensive explosion for the Hurricanes. The goals came from some unlikely sources as Defensemen Michal Jordan and Brad Malone had goals and Center Jay McClement had two. The Hurricanes peppered the Islanders Goalie with 41 shots and was able to negate the Islanders team speed by keeping the pressure on the Islanders defense.
The week also saw a flurry of trades by Hurricanes General Manager Ron Francis that resulted in Defensemen Andrej Sekera and Tim Gleason and Left Winger Jiri Tlusty leaving the team. The trades netted Defenseman Jack Hillen and Prospect Roland McKeown and four Draft Picks spread out over the next couple of years.
