Recap

Horvat scores twice as Islanders down Blackhawks

The New York Islanders beat the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 on Thursday night at UBS Arena. New York never trailed, taking a 1-0 lead into the first intermission before pulling away with two more goals in the second period. Chicago actually outshot the Islanders 23-19 but could not solve Ilya Sorokin, who finished with 22 saves on 23 shots.

Bo Horvat opened the scoring late in the first on the power play, his 3rd goal of the season, with Matthew Schaefer drawing the assist. Emil Heineman made it 2-0 early in the second, and Anthony Duclair pushed the lead to 3-0 later in the period. Frank Nazar got Chicago on the board in the third, but Horvat sealed it with an empty-netter, his second of the night and 4th of the season. Horvat and Logan Stanley, who had two assists, were named two of the game's three stars, with Duclair taking the other spot.
