Mackenzie Blackwood made 42 saves to shut out the New York Islanders, who had their moments but committed enough costly mistakes to allow the New Jersey Devils a 4-0 win that dropped the Islanders to 5-4-2 on the season.
Ilya Sorokin made 30 saves, some of them outstanding to keep the Isles in it, but even he couldn’t save them as he conceded four goals for the first time since the opening weekend of the season.
The game was filled with chances, and early on it looked like the Isles might have the better of them.
