Sorokin has 30th career shutout as Islanders blank Devils 6-0

Ilya Sorokin stopped thirty-six shots to secure his thirtieth career shutout as the Islanders routed the Devils six to zero on Saturday, bouncing back from an opening loss in Toronto. Simon Holmstrom and Brayden Schenn initiated the scoring early in the second period, before Bo Horvat capitalized on a power play to extend the lead.

Matthew Schaefer contributed two assists after being designated as the youngest assistant captain in franchise history earlier in the week. Viktor Eklund notched his first career goal in the third period following an assist from Cal Ritchie, while Ondrej Palat and Casey Cizikas rounded out the dominant victory.

Nico Daws turned away twenty-six attempts for New Jersey, which suffered its initial defeat of the campaign.
