Rapid Recap: Islanders 2, Golden Knights 0

Sticking with the same lineup was a good bet for Barry Trotz, as the New York Islanders skated to a 2-0win over the Vegas Golden Knights on Sunday night at T-Mobile Arena.
Fresh off a 3-0 win over Arizona on Saturday night, the Islanders ran back the same lineup on Sunday, skating to their second-straight win, extending their point streak to four games (3-0-1) in the process.
Ilya Sorokin pitched a 42-save shutout, becoming the first Isles goalie to record shutouts on consecutive days, while Josh Bailey (1G, 1A) and Mathew Barzal scored for the Islanders.
Sunday's win ends the first segment of the Islanders 13-game road trip. They'll head back to New York with a 3-2-1 record, their best start under Trotz, getting some well-deserved rest before heading back on the road next weekend.

First Period:
2:16 - NYI 1, VGK 0 - Josh Bailey scores his first goal of the season, potting a JG Pageau rebound past a sprawled out Robin Lehner. Bailey also made a key keep-in at the Golden Knights blueline before feeding Pageau with a nifty backhand in the slot.
Second Period:
No scoring.
Third Period:
7:33 - NYI 2, VGK 0 - Mat Barzal threads the needle over Lehner's shoulder, beating the goalie from a sharp angle. Bailey picks up the only assist on the goal, winning a battle on the wall and chipping the puck up to Barzal.
