Islanders’ road surge ends in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS — The New York Islanders had another shot for a road win until they didn’t

William Karlsson and Paul Stastny scored 1:03 apart in the third period, and Marc-Andre Fleury earned his league-leading 20th victory as the Vegas Golden Knights rallied for a 4-2 win over the New York Islanders on Thursday night.

Nate Schmidt had a goal and two assists and Brandon Pirri also scored as Vegas came back from two goals down near the midpoint of the second period. The Golden Knights, who completed a season series sweep of the Islanders, are 6-3-1 in December and hold the top wild card spot in the Western Conference with 42 points.
