Ducks 3 (EN), Islanders 1: Not good enough

Psst, that guy’s open.The very, very, very orange Anaheim Ducks got a power play goal in each of the first two periods and that plus 41 Lukas Dostal saves was enough to keep the Islanders down for a 3-1 final Tuesday on Long Island.

Mat Barzal got one back early in the third with some nice power play work, but the Isles otherwise could not solve Dostal despite nearly doubling the Ducks in chances. The Ducks added an empty netter in the final minute.
