Islanders Defeat Blues 3-1 at Home

The New York Islanders defeated the St. Louis Blues 3-1, ending a three-game losing streak and improving their record to 8-8-5. Kyle Palmieri scored twice, and Brock Nelson contributed a goal and two assists, including a power-play goal that extended the lead to 2-0. Ilya Sorokin achieved his 100th career victory with 24 saves, while Jake Neighbours scored for the Blues early in the third period, but an attempted goal by Noah Dobson was disallowed due to goaltender interference. The Blues suffered their seventh loss in nine games, struggling significantly on the power play. Despite the win, the Islanders need to develop consistency, as they had previously lost leads in their last few matches. The Islanders are hoping to build on this victory as they prepare to face the Detroit Red Wings next.
