Islanders 3, Oilers 1: Special teams and Sorokin carry Isles to victory

After a tough game in Montreal, the New York Islanders came back to put up a strong win against the Edmonton Oilers.

Leon Draisaitl scored the first goal of the game, but the Islanders scored three straight via special teams and were able to hold on after a precarious third period where they barely registered any offense at all.
