NEW YORK _ Cal Clutterbuck scored twice and the Islanders extended their latest win streak to five games with a thorough 3-0 victory over the Ducks on Sunday afternoon before a sellout crowd of 13,917 at NYCB Live's Nassau Coliseum.
The Islanders (29-15-4), who have won 15 of 18, extended their lead in the Metropolitan Division to three points over both the Capitals and Blue Jackets. They've allowed just three goals in this win streak and have back-to-back shutouts for the first time this season after Friday night's 2-0 win at Washington.
This is the Islanders' third win streak of at least five games this season. They've done so previously in only two other seasons, 1978-79 and 1982-83, per team statistician Eric Hornick.
