When was the last time the NY Islanders won a game by 9 goals?

"Throughout the entire month of December, goals didn't come easily for the NY Islanders. The team went nine games without scoring three goals until Saturday's 4-3 OT win over the Toronto Maple Leafs. But goals seemed to come easy tonight against the NJ Devils, beating their Metro Division rivals 9-0 on just 24 shots. It's been a while since the Islanders have won a game by nine goals."

"In goal that night was Kelly Hrudey, who had a much easier night between the pipes, making 27 saves, compared to Ilya Sorokin's 44 tonight. Though it was the first nine-goal differential in almost 40 years, the Islanders have actually won by that wide a margin six times in their early years of existence. 9-0, Jan 9, 1986 vs. Pittsburgh Penguins"

The New York Islanders scored a dominant 9-0 win over the New Jersey Devils on just 24 shots, snapping a December stretch in which scoring was difficult. The victory represented the first nine-goal margin for the Islanders in nearly 40 years, the previous 9-0 win occurring on Jan. 9, 1986. Ilya Sorokin faced 44 shots in the shutout, compared with Kelly Hrudey's 27 saves in the 1986 game. Anthony Duclair recorded a hat trick, his first since 2019, and the franchise has recorded six such wide-margin wins in its early history.
