Sorokin makes 23 saves as Islanders beat Red Wings

NEW YORK — Ilya Sorokin made 23 saves and Brock Nelson had a goal and an assist, leading the New York Islanders to a 2-0 victory against the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night.

Anders Lee also scored and Kyle Palmieri had two assists, helping New York stop a six-game slide. It was Sorokin's fourth shutout of the season and No. 14 for his career.

"We did a good job breaking pucks out, getting up ice and getting on the forecheck," Palmieri said. "That's kind of our bread and butter as a team, creating offense off that forecheck is how we are going to be successful and we were able to do that tonight.
