  04/29/2023 • By RotoWire

  Stastny scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 2-1 overtime victory over the Islanders in Game 6 of the Hurricanes' first-round series. After a giveaway by the Isles in their own end, Stastny got the puck deep in the corner and fired it quickly toward the front of the net, where it caromed in off Ilya Sorokin's pad. The 37-year-old forward picked up three goals in six games during the first round, including one in each of the last two contests, but his bottom-six role will make it tough for Stastny to maintain that momentum in the second round.

  Stastny found the back of the net in Carolina's 4-3 overtime victory over the Islanders in Game 2 on Wednesday. Stastny isn't the offensive force that he once was. While he surpassed the 70-point milestone in three of his first four campaigns, the 37-year-old finished the 2022-23 regular season with nine goals and 22 points in 73 contests. He can still chip in from time to time though, as Stastny did early in the first period to give the Hurricanes a 1-0 edge. It was his 27th goal and 70th point in 105 career NHL playoff games.
