Islanders Achieve Back-to-Back Wins, Eye Kings Next

The New York Islanders secured back-to-back wins with a 4-2 victory over the Ottawa Senators, following a prior 4-3 win against the Carolina Hurricanes. Key players included Ilya Sorokin, who made 29 saves, and Bo Horvat, who broke a 13-game goal drought with an empty-net goal. The Islanders' power play, previously struggling, was pivotal in both games, with Kyle Palmieri and Anders Lee contributing crucial goals. Despite their recent struggles and being last in the league for power plays, the Islanders have shown resilience and are still in contention for playoff spots. Their recent wins suggest a potential turnaround, as they seek to improve upon their current NHL-.500 record of 11-11-7. The Islanders will next face the Los Angeles Kings at home, aiming to continue their winning streak.
