The New York Islanders are two games into their series and some storylines have begun to surface. First, we had Ilya Sorokin’s surprise start in Game 1 and the heroics from Kyle Palmieri and the third line.
In Game 2, the story was the soft goal from Semyon Varlamov followed up by a stellar performance the rest of the way.
