Kyle Palmieri scores twice as Islanders top Canucks 3-2

Kyle Palmieri netted two goals, and Matias Maccelli scored his first for the New York Islanders as they edged the Vancouver Canucks 3-2 on October 13. Ilya Sorokin recorded 23 saves for the Islanders, who have alternated wins and losses over their first six games. Brock Boeser and Max Sasson scored for Vancouver, which has now lost five consecutive matches. The game featured a back-and-forth with Boeser's power-play goal tying it at 2-all in the second period, before Palmieri’s decisive score in the third. Both teams will continue their schedules Thursday, with the Canucks visiting Florida and the Islanders heading to Ottawa.
