Isles erupt behind Shane Prince in offensive breakthrough

The Islanders have hardly gotten anything out of too many of their forwards, but Shane Prince has been an unlikely bright spot lately, including in a 5-1 win over Toronto on Sunday night.

Prince helped put the game away in the third period, scoring the team’s third goal when Toronto goalie Jhonas Enroth couldn’t handle the puck behind the net, setting up Prince — and then Prince fed Brock Nelson to seal the victory and make it 4-1 just over two minutes later.

It spoiled Matt Martin’s return to Brooklyn, although the former Islanders enforcer did create a power play in the second.
