Ilya Sorokin stops 35 shots as Islanders blank Oilers

Ilya Sorokin made 35 saves for his league-leading fifth shutout of the season as the New York Islanders defeated the host Edmonton Oilers 1-0 on Thursday night.

Anthony Duclair scored the lone goal for the Islanders, who are 2-1-1 on their seven-game road trip.

Duclair ended the long scoring stalemate at 13:42 of the third period. New York was on its first power play of the game after Leon Draisaitl went to the penalty box for tripping Matthew Schaeffer, and Calum Ritchie set Duclair up for a snap shot past Connor Ingram.
