The Islanders effectively took care of business in New Jersey last night, winning by a final score of 4-2 at the Prudential Center. Adam Pelech, Anders Lee, and Jason Chimera tallied goals in the Islanders’ final road game.
Jaroslav Halak made 37 saves on 39 shots, likely a season-high for the Devils and, in what’s likely his last game of the season, it helps bring Jaro’s save percentage back up from where it was before his send-down (.949 last night, .915 on the season).
With the Toronto Maple Leafs emerging victorious over the Pittsburgh Penguins last night by a score of 5-3, the Islanders playoff hopes are officially extinguished.
