The New York Islanders wrapped up their California trip on Sunday night in Los Angeles against the Kings, who entered as one of just two teams in the NHL without a regulation loss.
A late surge could not undo a two-goal deficit, as the Islanders lost the game 3-2. Josh Bailey and Casey Cizikas were your goal scorers.
First period
Both teams were on the second of a back-to-back and it showed. The first period was pretty lackadaisical across the board.
Adam Pelech took the game’s first penalty nine minutes into the game on a ticky-tack boarding call.
