Rick DiPietro made 23 saves for the Islanders, who lost their sixth straight game.
Winnipeg struck first when Kane received a pass at center ice and weaved past a defender at the offensive blue line. His initial shot attempt at the left circle was blocked by an Islanders defender, he then gathered the puck and fanned on a second shot attempt before sending a backhander past DiPietro just 4:21 into the game.
Kane was then issued a penalty shot near the mid point of the period when he was hooked by Islanders defenseman Travis Hamonic on a breakaway, but he failed to convert on the chance as his shot fired off the right post.
