"The tone was set early-and poorly-for New York. Vancouver stormed out to a 3-0 lead in the first period, capitalizing on defensive breakdowns and passive coverage that left Ilya Sorokin exposed. David Kampf opened the scoring at 8:55 with his first goal of the season, Sherwood followed less than two minutes later, then struck again at 15:47 to bury the Islanders before the first intermission horn."
"Anders Lee finally broke Demko's shutout bid with 5:05 remaining in the third period, scoring his ninth goal of the season and the 298th of his career, but it did little to change the narrative of the night. Sherwood later sealed it with an empty-net goal for his third career hat trick and team-leading 16th goal. Sorokin finished with 26 saves, but the Islanders offered little resistance in front of him, snapping a five-game home winning streak and dropping their second straight game."
