"We had a lot of shots, obviously Husso played great, but we have to find his weak spots. Power plays too, we should have had more shots. Like Anders' goal, it was a rebound. If we had more net presence like that it would have helped a little bit."
"We had 40-something shots on net. Maybe we could have done a little bit better job getting in front of those, taking the goalie's eyes away from the puck."
The New York Islanders suffered a 5-1 defeat to the Anaheim Ducks, ending their five-game winning streak. Anders Lee scored early for the Islanders, but Anaheim responded with three goals in the first period, including two from Cutter Gauthier and one from Beckett Sennecke, establishing a 3-1 lead. Despite generating 43 shots on goal and maintaining steady pressure throughout the game, the Islanders were stymied by Ducks goaltender Ville Husso, who recorded 42 saves in his first start since January 26. New York's power-play opportunities in the second period failed to produce results. Ryan Poehling and Frank Vatrano added goals for Anaheim in the third period to secure the victory.
