It was Lee’s third career four-point game and his first since Oct. 27, 2018.<\/p>\n
Simon Holmstrom had a goal and two assists, Travis Mitchell scored his first NHL goal, and Tony DeAngelo had two assists for the Islanders (18-11-3), who have won five of their past six games. David Rittich made 31 saves.<\/p>\n
Islanders forward Bo Horvat, who leads the team with 19 goals this season, left at 13:08 of the second period with a lower-body injury. His left leg got tangled up with the skate of Ducks defenseman Drew Helleson, causing him to go down awkwardly.<\/p>\n
Troy Terry had a goal and an assist for the Ducks (19-11-1), who their three-game winning streak end. Ville Husso made 32 saves.<\/p>\n
Mitchell, who was playing in his seventh NHL game, gave the Islanders a 1-0 lead at 8:18 of the first period. Scott Mayfield\u2019s one-timer went wide of the net, but the puck caromed off the end boards right to Mitchell, who had just skated in off the bench and roofed a shot over Husso from the left circle.<\/p>\n
Lee made it 2-0 with a power-play goal at 10:16, redirecting DeAngelo’s point shot from the top of the crease.<\/p>\n
Lee scored his second power-play goal of the period to extend the lead to 3-0 at 19:06. DeAngelo\u2019s shot from the point was blocked by Lee in front, and the puck dropped down at the left post, where the Islanders captain lifted it in.<\/p>\n
The goal came shortly after Rittich stopped Frank Vatrano on a short-handed breakaway.<\/p>\n
Leo Carlsson made it 3-1 at 5:34 of the second period during 4-on-4 play. After winning an offensive zone face-off, he beat Rittich high glove side with a shot from the left circle.<\/p>\n
Terry cut it to 3-2 with a short-handed goal at 2:37 of the third period. Ryan Poehling won a race for the puck with Matthew Schaefer before passing across to Terry, who was all alone in the low slot and made a move before beating Rittich five-hole.<\/p>\n
Holmstrom pushed it to 4-2 at 6:06. He skated around Olen Zellweger on a rush down the left wing, cut across the crease, and tucked a backhand past Husso’s left pad.<\/p>\n
Ryan Pulock made it 5-2 at 14:46 when his wrist shot from the right boards deflected off the stick of Chris Kreider over Husso\u2019s glove. It was his first goal of the season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It was Lee’s third career four-point game and his first since Oct. 27, 2018.
