Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin gets empty-net goal in 7-4 victory over Predators

New York Islanders goaltender Ilya Sorokin was credited with his first career goal when Nashville Predators forward Steven Stamkos sent a pass into his own net in the final seconds of New York's 7-4 victory on Saturday.

Brock Nelson had two goals and an assist for the Islanders in their second straight win. Jean-Gabriel Pageau, Kyle Palmieri, Bo Horvat and Casey Cizikas also scored, and Adam Boqvist and Simon Holmstrom each had two assists.

Sorokin stopped 23 shots. He made a save right before Stamkos' errant pass went into Nashville's empty net with 12 seconds left.
