The Islanders received outstanding games from Brock Nelson, Josh Ho-Sang, Ryan Pulock and Robin Lehner among others to surge ahead in the second period for a 3-1 win in Arizona. That’s a three-game win streak, and regulation wins on back-to-back nights to start off a high-mileage western road trip. Pretty impressive.
Next stops: Vegas and Dallas.

- Nelson was an injury concern after taking an Ian Cole knee to the thigh in Colorado, but he felt better as yesterday went on (and he scored a key goal on his patented wrister).
