NEW YORK (AP) -- Artemi Panarin scored twice, Mika Zibanejad had three assists and Igor Shesterkin made 35 saves, and the New York Rangers defeated the New York Islanders 5-2 on Sunday.
Chris Kreider, Vincent Trocheck and Adam Edstrom also scored for the Rangers, who won again on home ice after Friday's 2-1 victory over Ottawa.
Kreider scored shorthanded -- his seventh goal of the season 3:44 into the contest -- with an assist to Zibanejad with Rangers captain Jacob Trouba in the penalty box.
Panarin restored the two-goal lead at 11:04 of the middle period on the power play.
Islanders center Brock Nelson scored off a scramble in front at 19:52 of the second to make it 3-2.
Edstrom scored his first goal at 5:18 of the third, followed by Panarin's second of the game and team-leading ninth goal into an empty net at 16:37.
Ilya Sorokin made 35 saves for the Islanders.
The Islanders, who fell to 4-6-2, have been shut out four times, scored one goal once and scored twice in Sunday's loss. They have scored three or more goals in six games.
The Rangers improved to 4-1-1 at home. They are 4-1-0 on the road.
Shesterkin, who improved to 6-2-1 this season, denied Islanders forward Bo Horvat on a breakaway early in the second period and stopped Horvat again 3:50 into the third.
Kreider's first-period goal was the 311th of his career, third-most in Rangers history behind Rod Gilbert (406) and Jean Ratelle (336).
Panarin has points in 10 of New York's 11 games and leads the Rangers with 18 points.
