Anaheim’s late push
Frank Vatrano answered New York’s opening goal in the first period, but Victor Eklund and Simon Holmstrom scored before the intermission to put the Islanders ahead 3–1. Killorn cut the deficit to one with 2:40 remaining, and Anaheim applied pressure with an extra attacker but could not tie the game.
