ELMONT, N.Y. — The Islanders snapped a two-game losing streak with one of their better team efforts in a 2-1 win over the Blues on Saturday afternoon at UBS Arena.
And that didn’t include two disallowed goals for Kyle Palmieri as the Islanders continued a six-game homestand in a surprisingly chippy game for two teams that hadn’t met since Feb. 27, 2020.
Ilya Sorokin made 27 saves for the Islanders (21-23-8), losing his bid for a second shutout in three games when Robert Thomas scored from a tough angle at 17:08 of the third period with the Blues skating six-on-five.
