Ilya Sorokin Dazzles as Islanders Earn Important Win over Blue Jackets ...

Ilya Sorokin's seventh shutout leads Islanders to a 1-0 win over Blue Jackets, moving New York back into a playoff spot with 85 points, tied with Columbus.

  • On Sunday night at UBS Arena, Ilya Sorokin, Islanders goalie, made 26 saves for his NHL-leading seventh shutout as the New York Islanders beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 1-0.
  • After being throttled 7-3 in Montreal, the New York Islanders snapped a two-game skid that briefly dropped them out of a playoff spot as Ilya Sorokin bounced back.
  • A replay review wiped out a second Islanders goal after Lee was ruled to have interfered with Greaves, Blue Jackets goalie, and Sorokin made 13 third-period saves amid late pressure.
  • The result left the Islanders with 85 points and in the second wild-card position, Eastern Conference, while Columbus lost its four-game winning streak and 12-game points streak.
  • Playing on poor ice at UBS Arena, the Blue Jackets had a final regular-season meeting with the Islanders, who now host the San Jose Sharks and Boston Bruins on March 28-29.
