NEW YORK (AP) — Karel Vejmelka made 24 saves for his first shutout of the season and the Arizona Coyotes beat the New York Islanders 2-0. Travis Boyd and Jack McBain scored in the third period as the Coyotes won their third straight to begin an NHL record-tying 14-game road trip. Ilya Sorokin stopped 26 shots for the Islanders, who lost for only the second time in nine games. Boyd’s power-play goal early in the third from just outside the crease came off a beautiful pass from Clayton Keller. Arizona defenseman J.J. Moser also assisted. Islanders forward Josh Bailey was in the box after taking a penalty late in the second. McBain scored an empty-net goal in the final minute to seal it.
