Overview
- Brayden Schenn scored 42 seconds in and Pius Suter added a rebound late in the second before Anders Lee halved the deficit with 3:20 left.
- Ilya Sorokin stopped 20 shots for New York in the opener of a seven-game homestand following a 6-1-0 road swing.
- A late Islanders tally was immediately disallowed for goalie interference on a chaotic play that also left Justin Faulk injured and assessed a double-minor for high-sticking.
- The victory ends St. Louis’s four-game slide, which had included three losses decided in overtime or a shootout, after recent struggles to score at even strength.
- Next up, the Blues visit the Rangers on Monday, while the Islanders host the Kraken on Sunday.
