Sweet road Chicago.
The New York Islanders picked up their first win of the season on Tuesday night, beating the Chicago Blackhawks 4-1 at United Center.
Ilya Sorokin made 39 saves, including 18 in the first period, keeping the Islanders in the game long enough for Anthony Beauvillier, Oliver Wahlstrom (2G) and Cal Clutterbuck to provide the offense. MacKenzie Entwhistle broke Sorokin's shutout bid with 26 seconds to play in the third period. The win improves the Islanders to 1-2-0 this season.

THE SCORING
First Period
No Scoring
Second Period
4:08 - NYI 1, CHI 0 - Anthony Beauvillier opens the scoring, pulling up a puck from the side of the net into the top of the crease and depositing it far side past Marc-Andre Fleury. Oliver Wahlstrom didn't officially record an assist on the play, but factored in by creating some chaos behind the net causing a loose puck.
Third Period
0:48 - NYI 2, CHI 0 - Wahlstrom extends the Islanders lead, corralling a Blackhawks turnover, skating around a sliding defenseman and beating Fleury five-hole. The goal is Wahlstrom's second in as many games.
8:51 - NYI 3, CHI 0 - Wahlstrom scores his second goal of the period - on the Islanders next shot - depositing a spinning cross-ice feed from JG Pageau. The goal marks Wahlstrom's first-ever two-goal game.
11:06 - NYI 4, CHI 0 - Cal Clutterbuck snaps a wrister glove side off the post and in for his first goal of the season. Clutterbuck had all sorts of time and space after Blackhawks defenseman Riley Stillman blew a tire in the neutral zone.
19:34 - NYI 4, CHI 1 - MacKenzie Entwhistle ends Sorokin's bid for a shutout with a goal late. The goal is briefly reviewed for an offside zone entry, but stands.

NOTEBOOK:
Wahlstrom recorded the first two-goal game of his career... Matt Martin made his season debut, skating 11:22 with four hits and one shot on goal, playing on a line with Casey Cizikas and Cal Clutterbuck. Martin also picked up a fighting major after dropping the gloves with Jujhar Khaira... Anders Lee was a late scratch as the Islanders captain was sick, though not with a COVID-related illness. Kieffer Bellows drew into the lineup for Lee and skated alongside Mat Barzal and Kyle Palmieri, recording 12:59 TOI with five hits and one shot on goal... Wahlstrom had a game-high eight shots on goal... The Islanders won 57% of face-offs (28-21) with Pageau winning 13-of-19 (68%).
HIGHLIGHT OF THE NIGHT
Cal Clutterbuck delivers an absolute snipe for his first goal of the season, off the post, off the crossbar and in.
