Blackwood stops 42 shots, Devils beat Islanders. MORE:
Janne Kuokkanen scored a short-handed goal, Tomas Tatar had a power-play goal and Dawson Mercer and Dougie Hamilton each had one at even strength to help New Jersey win its third straight and improve to 4-1-2 in the last seven games.
“We played a great game, really pressuring them,” Blackwood said. “We didn't really play on our heels too much. We did a great job of playing the same way and not getting passive when we got the lead. It was a great third period, we didn't give up too much.” Sorokin had a stellar save early in the third, doing the splits on an attempt by Tatar, to keep the Islanders within two.
With the Devils leading 1-0 after 20 minutes, Casey Cizikas fired a one-timer from the right side that Blackwood caught in his chest with 7:18 remaining in the second to keep the Islanders off the scoreboard.
