The New York Islanders beat the New Jersey Devils 6-0 on Saturday, with goaltender Ilya Sorokin recording 30th career shutout. Sorokin makes 36 saves in the home-opening win, while six different players score for the Islanders.
Simón Holmstrom, Brayden Schenn, Bo Horvat, Viktor Eklund, Ondrej Palat and Casey Cizikas each find the net as New York earns a decisive victory at home. The win comes after the Islanders lost in Toronto to the Maple Leafs on Wednesday, and it is described by outlets as their home opener following that road loss.
Across the reports, the focus stays on the same core details: Sorokin’s shutout and the distribution of goals among six Islanders. All sources characterize the game as a dominant performance by New York and emphasize that the Islanders’ scoring is spread across the lineup rather than concentrated among a few players.
