Islanders defeat Hurricanes 4-3 in OT

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - Cal Clutterbuck scored a deflected goal with 13.8 seconds left in overtime, and New York beat Carolina.

Clutterbuck had two goals, with his first tying it 30 seconds into the third period. Nikolay Kulemin had a goal and an assist and Kyle Okposo also scored for the Islanders, who have won two of three over a four-day span.

Victor Rask, Jeff Skinner and Jeff McClement scored during a second-period flurry for the Hurricanes.

Jean-Francois Berube made 33 saves for New York while Eddie Lack stopped 27 shots for Carolina in a matchup of desperate Metropolitan Division teams.

Clutterbuck took a pass from Brock Nelson and unleashed a shot from between the circles that clipped off Carolina defenseman Jaccob Slavin's chest and got past Lack.
