The New York Islanders head to Newark to play the New Jersey Devils for a Tri-State showdown on Monday night.
In a hard-fought battle on Saturday afternoon, the Islanders fell 3-2 in a shootout to the New York Rangers, but took home a huge point in the standings. Brock Nelson scored a pair of goals, but after an action-packed scoreless overtime, the Isles were bested in three rounds of a shootout. Ilya Sorokin made 41 saves in his first start since Apr. 4. Although their six-game winning streak came to an end, the Islanders’ point streak reached seven games (6-0-1).
“I like how we’re playing as a team,” Mathew Barzal said. “Everyone is buying in, you see everyone playing a similar style, committing to getting pucks to the net. We just have to keep playing the way we’ve been playing.”
