Nelson received a nifty feed from Mathew Barzal off the rush, before he fired it past Adin Hill's glove to give the Islanders a 2-0 lead against the NHL’s top team in the standings, the Vegas Golden Knights at 5:30 of the second:

When you turned on a New York Islanders game for the last six seasons, there were certain things you could count on reliably: hard work, effort, and a drive to win and fight tooth and nail for the playoffs.

Brock Nelson snapped a 17-game streak without a goal in the Islanders’ 4-0 win over the Golden Knights on Thursday night in Las Vegas.

The New York Islanders put for their strongest performance of the season on Thursday night, defeating the red-hot Vegas Golden Knights 4-0 at T-Mobile Arena.

On the same Thursday where GM Lou Lamoriello said the Islanders can turn their season around, the team responded by beating the NHL’s top team.

Anders Lee scored a first period goal in his 800th NHL game, and Ilya Sorokin made 30 saves for his 20th career shutout as the Islanders blanked the Vegas Golden Knights 4-0 before a sellout crowd of 17,713 at T-Mobile Arena.

The Vegas Golden Knights were shut out by the New York Islanders, 4-0, on Thursday. It's the first time that the Golden Knights have been held scoreless since Nov.

Lou Lamoriello expressed confidence in his team on Thursday morning – and on Thursday night the New York Islanders rewarded their GM with a 4-0 win over the Vegas Golden Knights at T-Mobile Arena.

This was the Islanders' second shutout this season. The other occurred Nov. 30, same day as the Golden Knights were last blanked. This also was Sorokin's second shutout this season and 20th of his career. Lee became the 10th player in franchise history to reach 800 games and the first to score a goal while hitting that milestone.

Ilya Sorokin made 30 saves for his 20th career shutout and Brock Nelson had a goal and an assist to lead the New York Islanders to a 4-0 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights Thursday night in Las Vegas.

It will not be easy to rebuild, but it is better for the Islanders to try to right the ship and fail than to not try at all.

Don’t expect a selloff from the New York Islanders while the team remains within striking distance of postseason contention. That was message from general
