Brock Nelson Leads Islanders Over Golden Knights 2-1

Brock Nelson scored the game-winning goal in the New York Islanders' 2-1 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday, marking his 16th goal of the season. Ilya Sorokin made 34 saves, contributing to the Islanders' eighth win in nine games and improving their record to 11-3-0 since January 5. Bo Horvat also scored for the Islanders, while Brandon Saad netted a goal for the Golden Knights, who have lost four straight games.
