Marek Zidlicky returned from a one-game old-age/roster-rotation rest to score two goals against his former team as the New York Islanders breezed by the New Jersey Devils for a 4-0 win on an early Sunday evening. The Isles scored two goals in each of the first two periods to have the game comfortably in hand by the midway point, barring any nightmare scenarios.
Such nightmares never looked even remotely possible as Thomas Greiss earned his first shutout as an Islander with one of his lightest workloads (27 shots) of the season.
