ELMONT, N.Y. — Not surprisingly, it was a low-scoring game.
The Jets’ Connor Hellebuyck has won the Vezina Trophy as the NHL’s top goalie and the Islanders’ Ilya Sorokin could be a candidate this season. Heck, both could be considered perennial candidates.
Clutch goaltending, of course, is crucial for any team’s playoff push and the Islanders helped their postseason hopes with a 2-1 win on Wednesday night at UBS Arena.
