"Roman Josi scored with 1:14 remaining to lift the Nashville Predators to a 4-3 victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday night, snapping Nashville's three-game losing streak. Josi's decisive goal was historic. The Predators captain carried the puck into the Islanders' zone, pulled up along the left side, and snapped a shot over the glove of Ilya Sorokin to become the first defenseman in franchise history to reach 200 NHL goals."
"Filip Forsberg scored twice for Nashville, while Matthew Wood added a goal and an assist. Juuse Saros stopped 27 shots, including a point-blank save on Emil Heineman in the final seconds to preserve the win. The Islanders saw their three-game winning streak come to an end despite a strong offensive start. Mathew Barzal finished with a goal and an assist, while Matthew Schaefer and Jean-Gabriel Pageau also scored. Sorokin made 38 saves in the loss."
""They know they're playing down most of the night, and when you're down you change your style a little bit," Barzal said. "We had tough time with our pressure tonight, that's what it came down to. Their forecheck, we had a tough time breaking the puck out. Can't give up that many shots, Sorokin kept us in there. It's a really tough loss."
