   ​The New York Islanders (8-6-4) got Matias Maccelli and Ryan Pulock back in the lineup and returned to winning ways with a 4-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings (5-10-2) on Thursday night.Brayden Schenn had a three-point night (one goal, two assists), while Victor Eklund scored for a fourth straight game to tie all Eastern Conference rookies with seven.Matthew Schaefer recorded his sixth goal of the season in his 100th career game, with points in all 18 games this season (six goals, 12 assists). Bo Horvat joined him with his 18th point late in the game (eight goals, 10 assists). Ilya Sorokin made 26 saves to snap his four-game slide, while Pulock recorded two assists in his return, and Maccelli earned an assist. The Kings went 10-0-1 in their last 11 games against the Islanders, and the Islanders haven’t had a regulation win in their last 12 meetings. It’s their first win in that building in about eight years. The Islanders were held to just 21 shots but were productive enough. Here’s how the game unfolded:The Islanders took a 1-0 lead at 5:50 of the first period after Brayden Schenn buried a rebound to Darcy Kuemper’s right, which was created after Mitchell Chaffee and Ryan Pulock’s point shot:4 game point streak for Schenn! pic.twitter.com/wtpgKzYBep— New York Islanders (@NYIslanders) November 13, 2026The Kings answered at 8:55 of the second period courtesy of a Trevor Moore slot tip on a Brandt Clarke point shot. But at 12:56 of the first period, Matthew Schaefer scored on the power play to give the Islanders a 2-1 lead.
