Mathew Barzal celebrates after scoring a first-period goal in the Islanders' 2-1 shootout win over the Islanders on Thursday night at Prudential Center.These were not the screw-tight Islanders, but they managed to get it done anyway.
In what was a rather tepid affair that had some solid goaltending from Thomas Greiss and Cory Schneider, the Islanders managed a 2-1 shootout victory over the Devils on Thursday night at Prudential Center.
The game-winning tally came when Josh Bailey was the only scorer in the skills competition, beating Schneider with a blocker-side shot in the fourth round.
