So instead of going into the second intermission tied at three, the Islanders faced a two-goal deficit — and were outscored on their own power play after Tony DeAngelo’s stick exploded receiving a pass, giving Quintin Byfield a shorthanded breakaway which he easily buried.

Darcy Kuemper stopped 33 shots for the Kings (34-20-9), who improved to an NHL-best 21-3-4 at home. Defenseman Drew Doughty capped the scoring with an empty-net shorthander at 18:43 of the third period.

The Los Angeles Kings beat the New York Islanders to finish a perfect three-in-four-game stretch in a game that included eight minor penalties and two disallowed goals in one period. Outside of these three 'W' adjectives,

Phillip Danault, Quinton Byfield, Vladislav Gavrikov and Drew Doughty all score, and Darcy Kuemper has 33 saves in a 4-1 win. New York has two goals disallowed for goalie interference.

Two slightly controversial disallowed goals contribute to an anemic 0-for-8 power play as the Islanders fail to make the most of their chances.
