"Ilya Sorokin turned in another masterclass between the pipes, stopping 21 shots for his NHL-leading sixth shutout as the New York Islanders rolled past the Philadelphia Flyers 4-0 on Monday night. Jean-Gabriel Pageau led the way offensively with two goals, while Mathew Barzal and Tony DeAngelo also scored for the Islanders, who snapped a two-game losing streak and maintained their hold on third place in the Metropolitan Division."
"Two days after being shut out at home versus the Sabres, the Islanders wasted little time responding. Pageau opened the scoring with a short-handed goal, snapping the Islanders' scoreless drought with his ninth of the season. It also marked the fifth short-handed goal the Flyers have allowed this year. The Isles continued to press in the second period and doubled the lead at 5:41 when Barzal deflected Isaiah George's point shot past Flyers goaltender Samuel Ersson for his 12th goal of the season."
Ilya Sorokin stopped 21 shots for his NHL-leading sixth shutout as the New York Islanders beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-0. Jean-Gabriel Pageau scored two goals, including a short-handed strike that ended the Islanders' scoreless drought and was his ninth of the season. Mathew Barzal scored on a deflection off Isaiah George's point shot, and Tony DeAngelo added a power-play goal against his former team. The Flyers struggled to generate sustained pressure, giving Sorokin relatively few difficult chances. Sorokin recorded his third shutout of the month and remains a Vezina Trophy candidate. The Islanders will host the Rangers in back-to-back games.
