The New York Islanders dropped last night’s game to the Boston Bruins. Ilya Sorokin got the start, his first one on the road this season. Lane Lambert also healthy scratched Pierre Engvall, whose turnover led directly to the Minnesota Wild’s dagger fourth goal on Tuesday night.
The Islanders tied the game at 1-1 on a power play goal that Brock Nelson smacked out of the air. Despite entering the third period behind, they tied the game again at 2-2 on another shorthanded goal for Simon Holmstrom, who combined again with J-G Pageau on an odd-man rush.
