Ilya Sorokin came into Madison Square Garden and stole the spotlight from the Russian goaltender at the other end of the rink, making dazzling saves en route to a 2-1 Islanders win.
The rest of the skaters in front of him were good, too, playing a close, competitive game against the high-scoring Rangers. Noah Dobson picked up another assist, and Anders Lee and Kyle Palmieri’s hot streaks continued, each of them netting a goal tonight.
In a season to forget, the Islanders put on a performance to remember against their biggest rivals.
First Period
Well, the highlight of this period was The Save.
