Narrative:
We were descending through 10;000 ft. When I noticed the #2 engine failure light illuminated and the engine indications showed a decrease in N1 and N2. We decided it was a flameout and ran the QRH procedure for engine fail checklist. We notified approach control and [requested priority handling]; completed the checklists and asked for vectors to runway xx. At this point everything ran as normal and after a successful landing we taxied to the gate without any further incident. Igniter's need to be checked by maintenance as we were told it could have been a failure of both igniter's on the affected engine.
