New York Islanders alternate captain Cal Clutterbuck finally has his first goal of the month after putting together a tremendous individual effort to keep the puck away from the visiting Anaheim Ducks on a rush down the ice.

With the Islanders down in an early 1-0 hole to the Ducks, Clutterbuck was able to bounce off a hip check from defender Kevin Bieksa as he was making his way through Anaheim's zone. The forward managed to keep control of the puck before pulling a few stickhandling moves on the Ducks defenders standing still in front of the net. Clutterbuck hoisted the puck over the shoulder of a frozen Frederik Andersen from the red line at the side of the cage to tie the game at 1-1 late in the first.
