Sorokin Blanks Oilers as Islanders End McDavid’s 20-Game Streak in 1-0 Road Win

A late power-play strike from Anthony Duclair lifted an offensively starved Islanders side.

Overview

  • Ilya Sorokin stopped 35 shots for his NHL-leading fifth shutout this season and the franchise-record 27th of his career.
  • Anthony Duclair scored on a power play at 13:42 of the third period, with Calum Ritchie and Mathew Barzal assisting as Barzal reached 500 NHL points.
  • Connor McDavid’s 20-game point streak ended, and Leon Draisaitl hit the post in the final minute on Edmonton’s best late chance.
  • New York managed 17 shots and relied on structured defense and two penalty kills to protect the one-goal lead.
  • The victory was the Islanders’ first regulation road win since Dec. 6 and ended a six-game losing run at Rogers Place.
