Nelson scores 2 to lead Islanders to win over Devils
NEWARK, N.J. — Brock Nelson scored twice, Cal Clutterbuck had a goal and an assist and the New York Islanders beat New Jersey 6-4 Friday night, handing the first-place Devils just their second regulation loss in 21 games.
Anders Lee, Casey Cizikas and Oliver Wahlstrom also scored, and Mathew Barzal and Alexander Romanov each had two assists as New York improved to 8-2-0 in their last 10 trips to Prudential Center. Semyon Varlamov made 25 saves.
"It was a good hockey game. It's a team that's been playing well all year and we're trying to catch them," said Islanders forward Zach Parise. "There's a lot on the line. We had a good little outburst in the second period."
