Kings Defeat Islanders 4-1, Extend Winning Streak

The Los Angeles Kings defeated the New York Islanders 4-1, marking their third consecutive victory. The Kings' goals came from Vladislav Gavrikov, Phillip Danault, Quinton Byfield, and Drew Doughty, while Darcy Kuemper made 33 saves. The Islanders managed to score only once from Anders Lee and had two goals disallowed due to goalie interference. This loss extends the Islanders' struggle, as they have now lost two straight games and find themselves five points out of a wild card spot. Both teams struggled on the power play, with the Kings successfully killing all eight of the Islanders' attempts. The Kings' victory positions them just one point behind the second-place Edmonton Oilers in the Pacific Division race.
