NEW YORK (AP) --- Bo Horvat scored twice and the New York Islanders beat the
Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 on Thursday night.
Ilya Sorokin made 22 saves as the Islanders won for the second time in three
games. Emil Heineman and Anthony Duclair also scored for New York, and
defenseman Logan Stanley had two assists.
Frank Nazar scored for Chicago, which lost for the fourth time in five games to
begin the season. Arvid Soderblom finished with 15 saves.
Horvat opened the scoring with a power-play goal in the final minute of the
first period. Matthew Schaefer fired a slap shot from the point and the
Islanders captain buried the rebound.
Heineman wired a wrist shot past Soderblom 6:44 into the second to double the
lead.
Stanley found Duclair alone near the back post at 9:38 for his first goal of
the season, making it 3-0.
Nazar spoiled Sorokin's shutout bid with 2:32 remaining in the third.
Horvat added his second goal of the game into an empty net with 1:33 left to
complete the scoring.
Islanders defenseman Alexander Romanov, who left Tuesday night's 5-2 loss to
the New York Rangers, will miss the rest of the regular season with a torn ACL
in his right knee.
