How Devils halted losing streak vs. Islanders | 8 observations

NEW YORK -- The Devils finally got the 60-minute effort they wanted.

Following one miscue on an early breakaway goal, the Devils kept a lethal New York Islanders offense in check before rattling off four straight goals in a 4-1 win on Tuesday at the Barclays Center, ending a 0-3-3 stretch.

Here's how the Devils got their first win of the 2018 calendar year, including a big game from Damon Severson, a needed special teams performance and a red-hot streak extended for Taylor Hall.
