Islanders score 3 1st-period goals, beat Ducks 3-2 for 2nd straight win

NEW YORK (AP) --- Ondrej Palat, Viktor Eklund and Simon Holmstrom scored
first-period goals and the New York Islanders beat the Anaheim Ducks 3-2 on
Tuesday night for their second straight victory.
Ilya Sorokin made 15 saves to help the Islanders improve to 3-0-1 in their last
four games.
Frank Vatrano and Alex Killorn scored for Anaheim, which lost its fourth
straight game. Lukas Dostal finished with 22 saves.
Palat opened the scoring with 6:21 left in the first period. Jean-Gabriel
Pageau found Palat streaking toward the net, and the forward fired a wrist shot
past Dostal.
Eklund doubled the lead less than three minutes later. Emil Heineman floated a
wrist shot from the blue line, and Eklund corralled the loose puck and buried
it for his second goal of the season.
Vatrano pulled the Ducks within a goal 49 seconds later, lifting a backhander
past Sorokin off a feed from A.J. Greer.
Holmstrom restored New York's two-goal advantage with a power-play goal with
1:18 left in the first, deflecting Mathew Schaefer's shot from the point past
Dostal.
Killorn pulled Anaheim within a goal with 2:40 remaining in the third.
