And like the Islanders, the Canucks struggle to find the back of the net, especially at 5-on-5. No team has scored fewer goals at even strength than Vancouver this season, which is not a good recipe going against the league’s best goaltender right now.

Anthony Duclair scored a pair of game-tying goals as the New York Islanders came from behind to win at Vancouver 4-3 on Monday night, sending the Canucks to their 11th consecutive loss.

The New York Islanders picked up a point on Thursday, but came out on the wrong end of a tight 2-1 shootout loss to the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena. Simon Holmstrom opened the scoring for the Islanders, while Ryan O’Reilly scored a shorthanded goal to tie it and Filip Forsberg netted the lone goal in the shootout to win it.

It might be overstating it, though, and more than a little, to say they were hard done by with a 4-2 loss to the Flames. The Islanders were loose with the puck, got more sloppy as the game went on
