Bo Horvat kept New York alive in the third round of a shootout and Kyle Palmieri scored in the fourth to back David Rittich in the Islanders’ 1-0 victory over the Seattle Kraken on Sunday night.<\/p>\n
Rittch made 19 saves for his first shutout with the Islanders and the eighth of his NHL career, allowing only Freddy Gaudreau’s opening goal in the shootout. The 33-year-old goalie is 6-2-0 as the backup to Ilya Sorokin after playing for Los Angeles the past two seasons.<\/p>\n
Palmieri scored after Rittich stopped Seattle’s Chandler Stephenson.<\/p>\n
The Islanders won a shootout for the first time in just over a year. They have seven victories in their last nine games, rebounding from a 2-1 home loss to St Louis on Saturday after a 6-1-0 trip.<\/p>\n
Joey Daccord made 34 saves for Seattle for his second shutout of the season and seventh overall. He stopped Horvat and Matthew Schaefer with the Islanders on a power play late in overtime.<\/p>\n
The Kraken were coming off a 3-2 overtime win at Pittsburgh on Saturday night. Seattle is 4-1-1 in its last six games and 11-5-6 overall under former Islanders coach Lane Lambert.<\/p>\n
The Islanders are 9-3-1 in their last 13 games and 13-5-2 since they started 0-3-0.<\/p>\n
The Islanders said before the contest that defenseman Alexander Romanov will be out for five-to-six months following surgery on his right shoulder.<\/p>\n
