NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Islanders extended their point streak to five games.
But they couldn’t beat the Predators, losing a 3-2 shootout at Bridgestone Arena on Saturday afternoon despite goalie Ilya Sorokin’s best efforts, as they resumed their 13-game road trip.
Sorokin made 21 saves, including three in overtime and three incredible ones against Filip Forsberg in regulation. But Forsberg connected with a forehander on the Predators’ second shot of the shootout and defenseman Roman Josi then clinched it as Juuse Saros (33 saves) stopped Oliver Wahlstrom and Anthony Beauvillier.
