Carlsson, Terry score power-play goals and Dostal stops 41 as Ducks top Islanders 3-1

NEW YORK (AP) — Leo Carlsson and Troy Terry scored power-play goals, Lukas Dostal turned aside 41 shots and the Anaheim Ducks beat the New York Islanders 3-1 on Tuesday night.

Mason McTavish had two assists and Frank Vatrano added an empty-net goal in the final minute and had an assist.

Mathew Barzal scored his second of the season and Ilya Sorokin finished with 19 saves but the Islanders lost for the third time in their last four games.

Carlsson deflected Vatrano’s shot at 14:05 of the first to open the scoring.

McTavish cleverly slid a puck through the crease to set up Terry on the man advantage at 14:07 of the middle period to extend the Ducks lead to 2-0.

Barzal spoiled Dostal’s shutout attempt with a one-time blast at 5:31 of the third to pull the Islanders within one goal.

The Ducks earned their first win in game three of a four-game road trip and will have a six-game homestand following their game in Pittsburgh on Thursday night.

Islanders forward Pierre Engvall was penalized twice Tuesday, including one infraction in the offensive zone. Engvall, who is in the second year of a seven-year contract, is struggling to earn a consistent spot on the Islanders roster. The Swedish forward was sent to the American Hockey League to begin the season as a “wakeup call” per Islanders general manager Lou Lamoriello, but was recalled recently out of necessity.

Late in the second period, Dostal made his most impressive save of the game, denying Anders Lee’s one-time attempt to preserve two-goal advantage.

The Islanders penalty kill unit allowed two goals and is ranked 30th in the league.

The Ducks visit the Pittsburgh Penguins on Thursday night while the Islanders travel to Columbus to play the Blue Jackets Wednesday night.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A shooting outside a church building in Salt Lake City killed two people and injured six others Wednesday, police said.

The shooting took place in the parking lot of a meetinghouse of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, widely known as the Mormon church.

Dozens of people were attending a funeral inside at the time. All the victims were adults.

Police said they do not believe the shooter had any animus toward a particular faith.

“We don’t believe this was a targeted attack against a religion or anything like that,” Salt Lake City Police Chief Brian Redd said.

Police also do not believe the shooting was random. Authorities said no suspect was in custody.

About 100 law enforcement vehicles were at the scene in the aftermath, and helicopters flew overhead.

“This should never have happened outside a place of worship. This should never have happened outside a celebration of life,” Mayor Erin Mendenhall said.

The church was cooperating with law enforcement and was grateful for efforts first responders' efforts, a spokesperson said.

“We extend prayers for all who have been impacted by this tragedy and express deep concern that any sacred space intended for worship should be subjected to violence of any kind,” Sam Penrod said in a statement.

The church is headquartered in Salt Lake City, and about half of Utah’s 3.5 million residents are members of the faith. Churches like the one where the shooting occurred can be found in towns throughout the city and state.

The faith has been on heightened alert since four people were killed when a former Marine opened fire in a Michigan church last month and set it ablaze. The FBI found that he was motivated by “anti-religious beliefs” against the church.
