Kyle Palmieri scores twice as Islanders beat Canucks 3-2
NEW YORK (AP) --- Kyle Palmieri scored twice, Matias Maccelli added his first
goal for New York and the Islanders beat the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on Tuesday
night.
Ilya Sorokin made 23 saves for the Islanders, who have alternated losses and
wins over their first six games, with all three wins coming at UBS Arena.
Brock Boeser and Max Sasson scored for Vancouver, which has lost five straight
since opening the season 2-1. Leevi Merilainen stopped 35 shots.
Maccelli assisted on Palmieri's goal at 5:38 of the third period, which broke a
2-2 tie.
Signed as a free agent after playing for Toronto last season, Maccelli freed up
space with a stutter-step move and beat Merilainen late in the first period to
make it 2-0. Palmieri had opened the scoring 53 seconds earlier.
Boeser's power-play goal with 1:05 left in the second period tied the game at
2-all. It was the 80th of his career with the man advantage, fifth most in
franchise history.
Up next
Canucks: At Florida on Thursday.
Islanders: At Ottawa on Thursday.
