LOS ANGELES (AP) ¡ª Valtteri Filppula isn¡¯t taking many
shots
Christopher
Tanev Jersey , but the third-line center is making them count.The New York
Islanders decided to follow his lead, with Filppula scoring two goals on two
shots to help his team snap a two-game road losing streak with a 7-2 victory
over the Los Angeles Kings on Thursday night.Filppula, Matt Martin, Leo Komarov
and Andrew Ladd each had a goal in the third period as the Islanders set a
season high in scoring.¡°It¡¯s always nice to get a couple goals, and I think all
of our lines played really well,¡± said Filppula, who also had an assist for his
first three-point game since Dec. 16, 2016, against Calgary.Casey Cizikas had a
goal for the second straight
game
Authentic
Daniel Sedin Jersey , and Josh Bailey scored on the power play. Robin
Lehner made 28 saves for the Islanders, who were playing the second game of a
back-to-back.Jonathan Quick made his first start for the Kings after missing
five games because of a lower-body injury, but was pulled with 10:40 remaining
after allowing six goals on 29 shots. Tyler Toffoli and Jeff Carter each scored
on the power play, and Los Angeles lost its third straight.Filppula made it 3-1
after Bailey¡¯s power-play goal put New York back in front 2-1 at 3:43 of the
second period.After Carter made it 3-2 during a two-man advantage early in the
third, Filppula had a short-handed goal on a two-man break 46 seconds later to
restore a two-goal lead.Filppula, who has scored a team-leading four goals on
seven shots, credited passes from Komarov and Ladd for making his night so easy
and helping the Islanders win for the second time in their past nine games in
Los Angeles (2-7-0).¡°I¡¯d like to have the chance to shoot it a little bit more,
but today, with both those
passes
Womens
Derek Dorsett Jersey , can¡¯t get much closer than that,¡± Filppula
said.Martin added his goal a minute later, at 4:40.Komarov scored, sending Quick
to the bench, and Ladd capped the barrage of goals at 11:34 against backup Jack
Campbell.¡°It was really disappointing,¡± Kings coach John Stevens said. ¡°Totally,
totally went to sleep, gave up a really easy short-handed goal there and just
stopped playing.¡±The Islanders took a 1-0 lead at 4:05 of the first on a goal by
Cizikas.Toffoli tied it at 1, redirecting Drew Doughty¡¯s shot from the blue line
at 14:56 for the Kings¡¯ first power-play goal of the season. Los Angeles had
started 0 for 22 on the power play and was the last team in the NHL to score
with the man advantage.And while the Kings got their power play on
track

they continue to struggle on the penalty kill. Los Angeles has allowed a
power-play goal in three straight games and four of the last five, killing just
64.7 percent of penalties (11 of 17) in that span.¡°I think we¡¯ve got some soul
searching to do,¡± defenseman Alec Martinez said. ¡°What happened there at the end
was unacceptable. It¡¯s not one guy in particular. It¡¯s all of us. We¡¯ve got to
figure some things out.¡±Kings center Anze Kopitar did not play because of
illness. It was the first time he missed a game since Jan. 18, 2017, and ended a
streak of playing in 126 consecutive games.Lehner left late in the third period
after he was struck in the upper body by a puck, Islanders coach Barry Trotz
said. Thomas Greiss played the final 7:04 and stopped all five shots he
faced.NOTES: Filppula, Ladd and Scott Mayfield each had three points. Mayfield
and defenseman Thomas Hickey each had a plus-5 rating. ¡ Islanders center Mathew
Barzal had two assists, giving him six in six games. ¡ Kings forward Sheldon
Rempal played 13:06 in his NHL debut. ¡ With Quick coming off injured reserve,
goalie Peter Budaj was assigned to the Kings¡¯ AHL affiliate in a corresponding
move.UP NEXTIslanders: Conclude their four-game trip in San Jose on

The ownership group looking to bring an expansion NHL team to Seattle unveiled
plans Monday for a $70 million training facility in the northern part of the
city.NHL Seattle CEO Tod Lewieke announced the
plans
Jacob
Markstrom Jersey , which include three full-sized rinks and office space
to serve as the headquarters for the proposed new franchise. The facility will
have 180,000 square feet total and be located near Seattle¡¯s Northgate Mall,
which is being redeveloped. The location is a short walk from a new light-rail
station set to open in a few years and has easy access to Interstate 5.¡°We have
an incredible opportunity to make Seattle the epicenter of hockey in the Pacific
Northwest and our ownership has given us the ability to take a big, big step
today,¡± Leiweke said. ¡°This is a major commitment. We¡¯re investing lots of money
in KeyArena, we¡¯re acquiring a team we hope, and this is another major financial
commitment that our owners are making to try and grow the game, build the game
and have impact.¡±The expansion bid by Seattle appears to be set for final
approval by the NHL Board of Governors in early December. The board¡¯s executive
committee gave a unanimous recommendation last week in New York to move ahead
with approving Seattle¡¯s bid to become the league¡¯s 32nd team.The hope is
Seattle will be ready to join the league for the 2020-21 season, assuming
construction stays on schedule for the $700 million renovation of KeyArena. The
venue hosted its final scheduled event last
Friday
Markus
Granlund Jersey , when the Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings met
in an NBA preseason game, and the renovation could begin in the coming weeks.The
proposed training facility would have one rink with seating for 1,000 and two
rinks each with seating for 400. The NHL Seattle group also expects the building
to be a hub for growing youth programs in the area. Lance Lopes of NHL Seattle
noted similar facilities are under construction or nearing completion in St.
Louis; San Jose, California; and Anaheim, California.¡°This is a trend across the
country to build these multiplex facilities with a training facility as well,¡±
Lopes said.
