"The New York Islanders beat the New York Rangers on Saturday night, and did it with swagger. Behind Bo Horvat's two-goal effort and a vintage Ilya Sorokin shutout, the Isles silenced Madison Square Garden with a commanding 5-0 win that snapped a five-game skid against their biggest rival. Horvat's heater continued as he scored his 10th and 11th goals of the season, moving into a tie with Sidney Crosby and Cutter Gauthier for the league lead."
"Jonathan Drouin added a goal and two assists, flashing the creativity Isles fans have been waiting to see. His give-and-go with Anthony Duclair in the first period made it 2-0, and he set up Horvat's second tally with a silky backhand feed across the slot. Jean-Gabriel Pageau matched Drouin's three-point night with a goal and two helpers, while Anders Lee rounded out the scoring with a late third-period finish."
