Noah Dobson and Mathew Barzal each scored and had an assist, helping the Isles snap a three-game skid with a win over the Boston Bruins on Thursday night.
Ilya Sorokin made 26 saves, Jean-Gabriel Pageau also scored, and the Islanders kicked off a two-game homestand with a victory after a disappointing four-game road trip . Brock Nelson also added an empty-net goal and an assist.“It was playoff game for us,” Barzal said. “We knew tonight was huge after dropping one in Buffalo and where we are at in the standings. Obviously, we know who we are chasing. That was a big win for us and felt for the most part we played championship-caliber hockey.
“That’s the way we need to play in those tight games,” Dobson said. “We’ve got to find a way to get a big goal, then lock it down when we need to. It was a good effort in the third, for sure.” The goal followed an impressive Islanders penalty kill after Cal Clutterbuck took an ill-advised offensive zone penalty that could have shifted momentum in the Bruins’ favor.
Following the equalizer, Sorokin made back-to-back saves on Brandon Carlo and Hall to keep the game tied at 1.
