UNIONDALE, N.Y. — Both goalies had bounce-back performances. The Islanders’ Ilya Sorokin was just one save better in the shootout.
The Islanders, with two goals from Anthony Beauvillier, matched the East Division-leading Capitals — who have played one fewer game — with 52 points with a 3-2, four-round shootout win over the Flyers on Saturday night at Nassau Coliseum.
Mathew Barzal scored the shootout’s lone goal and Sorokin stopped Jakub Voracek to clinch the win for the Islanders (24-10-4), who opened this season-high, six-game homestand with an 8-4 win over the Capitals on Thursday
