Palmieri Lights The Lamp Twice In 3rd, Pushing Devils Past Islanders
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Kyle Palmieri scored two third-period goals and the New Jersey Devils opened some daylight on the New York Islanders in the race for a wild-card playoff berth with a 2-1 victory Saturday night.
Taylor Hall extended his NHL-best points streak to 14 games with two assists, and Keith Kinkaid made 30 saves as the Devils maintained a five-point lead over Columbus in the race for the top wild-card spot, and increased their lead over the ninth-place Islanders to seven points.
