Brock Nelson’s current scoring drought reached 17 games Sunday, but Roy does not have to approach it the same way with No. 29. Nelson is not one to beat himself up, like Horvat, or get frustrated, like Mat Barzal. At least publicly, he is steady and optimistic, almost without fail.

New York Islanders center Bo Horvat scored twice, including the game-winning goal in their overtime victory over the Boston Bruins on Sunday evening. Horvat tallied his first goal of the evening in the opening frame while shorthanded.

It eventually found Kyle Palmieri behind the Golden Knights' net and he found Bo Horvat in front in Ilya Samsonov to bump the lead to 3-0. Vegas had the shot advantage in that period ...

Vegas is a team built upon trust in each other and trust in their coaching staff. The Golden Knights find ways to win despite teams attempting comebacks or falling behind.

Ilya Sorokin made 30 saves for his 20th career shutout and Brock Nelson had a goal and an assist to lead the New York Islanders to a 4-0 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights Thursday night in Las Vegas.

Head-to-head matchups with three of the nine teams trying to claim the two wild-card positions in the Eastern Conference are going to be meaningful.

This was the Islanders' second shutout this season. The other occurred Nov. 30, same day as the Golden Knights were last blanked. This also was Sorokin's second shutout this season and 20th of his career. Lee became the 10th player in franchise history to reach 800 games and the first to score a goal while hitting that milestone.

LAS VEGAS — Two in a row ain’t much ... They never looked back, following it up with a pair of goals from Brock Nelson and Bo Horvat in the second, with the former breaking a 17-game goal ...

David Pastrnak scored twice, and Cole Koepke and Justin Brazeau added goals as the Bruins lost their fourth straight game.

The New York Islanders (16-18-7) made a statement last night in Las Vegas, defeating the Vegas Golden Knights (28-10-3) 4-0. Vegas entered as the top team in the NHL, yet they found themselves completely outmatched and outplayed by the Islanders in their own building.

In the eight games after Duclair's return he has one goal and two assists, but has gone four games without a point.
