The Islanders needed this in a bad way.
It wasn’t pretty but that will matter to nobody wearing blue and orange.
The Islanders have consistently struggled for offense and did so again on Friday as Ilya Sorokin backstopped them to a shutout performance in the victory. But Nelson’s line consistently found itself in scoring positions, able to forecheck and work below the hashes in a way the Islanders have not often done so lately.
It was also the fourth primary assist in three games since returning from injury for Palmieri, who has brought a needed oomph to the Islanders’ top six lately.
