Carolina is on to the conference final, while Dallas takes control. Plus, look ahead to Saturday night's action.

Hurricanes defenseman Trevor van Riemsdyk is expected to miss four to six months after undergoing surgery to fix a left shoulder injury suffered in Carolina's series against the New York Islanders.

The Hurricanes completed a four-game whitewash of the New York Islanders.

The Islanders pulled starting goalie Robin Lehner for backup Thomas Greiss after he allowed two goals in a 66-second span of the second period on Friday against the Hurricanes.

By the time coach Barry Trotz made the decision to switch goaltenders, the Islanders were down two goals and on their way to being swept out of the playoffs by the Hurricanes.
