Clutterbuck, Ladd score in 3rd as Islanders beat Canucks 4-2
NEW YORK — Andrew Ladd and Jason Chimera scored their first goals with the Islanders and helped New York to a needed victory in a finale of a long stretch of home games.
Cal Clutterbuck and Ladd scored 1:39 apart midway through the third period to lift the Islanders over Vancouver 4-2 on Monday night, giving the Canucks their ninth straight loss.
Chimera and Nikolay Kulemin also scored and Jaroslav Halak stopped 30 shots to help the Islanders improve to 2-3-2 in their last seven.
“We had a little bit of puck luck tonight,” New York coach Jack Capuano said. “The last few games we played well, we just haven’t got results. It’s good for the guys to get that feeling.”
