ANAHEIM, Calif. — The New York Islanders defeated the Anaheim Ducks 6-2 on Saturday at Honda Center after scoring four goals in the second period.
Simon Holmstrom finished off a hat trick past Lukas Dostal as the Ducks suffered another loss, according to Yahoo Sports.
Anaheim dropped to 10-9-1 on the season after scoring just four goals in back-to-back losses.

Nikita Nesterenko opened the scoring for the Ducks in the second period with a goal from a loose puck.
Cutter Gauthier later continued his historic goal-scoring streak by deflecting a hard feed from Tristan Luneau.
Gauthier tied Teemu Selanne for the second-longest goal-scoring streak in franchise history from the 1998-99 season.
Selanne also owns the franchise record with an 11-game streak during the 1997-98 season.
