The New York Islanders defeated the Anaheim Ducks 6-2 on Saturday night to cap a 2-0-1 road trip to California, as reported by “The New York Islanders”.
Simon Holmstrom recorded his first career hat trick during the dominant victory.
Matthew Schaefer notched three assists for the Islanders.
Victor Eklund extended his point streak to four games.
Mathew Barzal returned to the lineup for the first time this season, recording an assist in 16:21 minutes while leading the team with four shots on goal.
However, the Islanders lost defenseman Logan Stanley to a lower-body injury during the contest.
Stanley did not play the final 3:24 of the first period and tried to return for a few early shifts in the second period before he could not continue.
The team currently has Matt Kessel and Scott Mayfield on their bench.
The Islanders could also potentially place a waiver claim on former blueliner Mike Reilly, whom the Carolina Hurricanes placed on waivers Saturday afternoon.
Center Jean-Gabriel Pagaeu missed his second straight game due to a lower-body injury.
Following the victory, the Islanders will host the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night at 7 PM ET.
