The New York Islanders secured a 2-1 victory over the Boston Bruins, with goaltender Ilya Sorokin making 38 saves. Alexander Romanov and Kyle Palmieri scored for the Islanders, who broke their four-game losing streak. Boston's David Pastrnak scored the Bruins' only goal, marking his 800th career point. The Bruins have now lost five consecutive games, and suffered another blow with Matt Poitras's injury. The game featured significant crowd frustration as the Bruins failed to capitalize on key moments leading to their defeat.
Despite getting outshot 39-20, New York proved opportunistic on both of its goals. Romanov's fourth of the season came on a 2-on-1 break moments after a penalty on him had expired. Palmieri's goal... saw him pounce on a juicy rebound after Brock Nelson fired the initial shot on Swayman.
The Bruins, after back-to-back overtime losses, lost Matt Poitras to injury late in the second period. The forward went down in front of the door at the far end of New York's bench.
Pastrnak's third-period goal, his 31st of the season, marked the 800th point of his career, showcasing both his scoring ability and his value to Boston.
The TD Garden crowd booed loudly after Palmieri scored what proved to be the deciding goal at 4:21 of the second period, emphasizing fans’ frustration with the team’s performance.
