Pierre Engvall and Jean-Gabriel Pageau each had a goal for the Islanders, but unfortunately for the New York team they have dropped their past two games following three straight wins as part of a five-game point streak.Goaltender Ilya Sorokin allowed four goals on 36 shots.

“We’ve just got to bounce back,” Engvall said. “I think we had some really good periods in the game.”

“They’re more committed, they’re more calculated with the risk that they’re willing to take on the ice. And lo and behold, they’re scoring more, so it’s working well that way right now,” Kings coach Todd McLellan said of his players.

Islander go to Anaheim on Wednesday night, while the Kings play against Columbus at home on Thursday night.
